Tietjens Wants Fresh Blood For Wellington Sevens

Sir Gordon Tietjens will not err on the side of caution when picking his side for the Wellington Sevens.

The All Blacks Sevens coach has named a 16 strong wider squad, to be trimmed to 12.

Veterans Tomasi Cama and Lote Raikabula have been given a shot to end their world series absence.

Their experience is seen as handy as New Zealand seek a place inside the top four in the Series to secure Olympic qualification.

However Tietjens says that's not how he does things.

He says just because a player doesn't have the experience needed doesn't mean he won't pick him.

New Zealand sit third behind Fiji and South Africa after three rounds.
