While there was a mixed return from our men's and women's Sevens teams in Rio, the future of the game looks in good shape heading into the next Olympic cycle.
The name 'Eric Rush' is synonymous with the game of Sevens and now his sons Robert and Brady are keen to make their own mark in the sport.
They'll play for a Māori invitational side up against New Zealand selections featuring the country's best young men and women. They will be facing teams from Australia, Samoa, Fiji and the Cook Islands.
The New Zealand Woman's side will face the likes of Australia and a Samoa Barbarians team.
Maori coach and former All Blacks winger, Rico Gear believes exposure to international competition at secondary school level is crucial, with Sevens now an Olympic sport.
"The potential for where it could go is going to be massive, said Gear.
"It's that process in the lead up to 2020 and providing that pathway."
That pathway has the backing of freshly crowned All Blacks Seven player of the year Rieko Ioane.
"All those tournaments that are up and coming is only going to unearth new talent and find the boys that are going to do the job," said Ioane.
With an unprecedented level of international opportunities for our rising sevens talent, they'll be hoping to create a highlight reel of their own.
