The All Blacks Sevens team is facing a challenging situation as they prepare for their upcoming matches in North America. The team's head coach, Tomasi Cama, will not be traveling with the squad to Vancouver and New York for the World Sevens Series due to visa complications. This unexpected development has left the team in a tricky spot, but they are determined to make the most of the situation. New Zealand Rugby has confirmed that assistant coach Willie Rickards will step up as head coach for the two tournaments, with Scott Curry by his side as an assistant. The team is now set to compete in the Vancouver tournament from Sunday to Monday, followed by New York on the 14th and 15th of this month. New Zealand finds itself in Pool A at the Vancouver 7s, alongside South Africa, Spain, and Great Britain. This situation highlights the importance of timely visa processing and the potential impact it can have on sports teams' travel plans. It remains to be seen how this will affect the team's performance, but one thing is certain: the All Blacks Sevens are ready to face the challenges ahead with resilience and determination.
