Black Ferns and All Blacks Sevens teams named to chase more Hong Kong history

New Zealand have unveiled their squads for the upcoming Hong Kong and Singapore legs of the 2024/25 SVNS circuit.

The women have revealed an unchanged unit with just Shiray Kaka ruled unavailable as she nears the end of a lengthy recovery from her third ACL tear.

All seven of the Black Ferns Sevens members recently revelaed to be comitting to the upcoming Rugby World Cup have been named in the squad.

Sarah Hirini will again lead the team with Risi Pouri-Lane as vice-captain.

For the men, the return of Amanaki Nicole will come as a boost after missing the podium in all four events of the series so far. Dylan Collier returns as captain along with Sione Molia as vice-captain.

Akuila Rokolisoa, Xavier Tito-Harris, Lewis Ormond and Roderick Solo remain sidelined.
