Development programme is the answer for NZ 7s - Tomasi Cama

Junior Tomasi Cama is now the assistant coach of the New Zealand Sevens team.

New Zealand rugby may be well known for its depth, but Tomasi Cama believes their recent struggles on the Sevens World Series exposed their lack of players in the abbreviated form of the game.

Cama, who has been confirmed as new coach Clark Laidlaw's assistant said they needed to establish a development group focused on sevens.

He believed their depth was exposed in the 2016‑17 campaign where they finish fourth overall and failed to reach a final in 10 tournaments.

The veteran of 63 World Series tournaments will play a key role with the team again this season now that his role as assistant has been locked in.

He had held that role in an interim capacity under interim coach Scott Waldrom as they waited for Laidlaw to finish his commitments with London Irish.

The 2017‑18 World Series gets underway with the Dubai Sevens on December 1.
