Welcome from<br />

World Rugby<br />

The <strong>Wellington</strong> round of the HSBC World Rugby<br />

Sevens Series is always a spectacular tournament<br />

and a demonstration of world-class rugby sevens.<br />

Over the past few years, it has<br />

established itself as a high-point of the<br />

series and one that is always eagerly<br />

awaited by rugby fans throughout the<br />

city and further afield.<br />

This is the third tournament in the<br />

2015-16 HSBC World Rugby Sevens<br />

Series and with two rounds completed,<br />

the All Blacks Sevens could do with the<br />

points as they currently lie in joint-sixth<br />

position, 10 points behind co-leaders<br />

Fiji and South Africa. This year is<br />

shaping up to be a memorable season.<br />

I would like to thank our title sponsor,<br />

HSBC, for its continued commitment<br />

to the game. Thanks also to our other<br />

sponsors, to our broadcaster, as well<br />

as the players, match officials and<br />

organisers.<br />

Have fun!<br />

Bernard Lapasset<br />

Chairman<br />

World Rugby
