Black Ferns sevens star Ruby Tui's desperate to make an impact at the World Cup starting in San Francisco next week.
Both the men's and women's teams were announced in Tauranga on Tuesday, and nobody was counting her stars more than Tui after her recent string of bad luck.
Tui didn't play for the Black Ferns at the recent Commonwealth Games after contracting the mumps.
She was also forced out of the triumphant World Cup triumph in 2013 after tearing her ACL.
"There is always a bright side and this is definitely one," Tui said. "I'm probably a lot more grateful than some because I got knocked out of the last pinnacle event.
"I want to say that I'm buzzing a bit more than everybody else."
Both the Black Ferns and All Blacks Sevens are the defending World Cup champions and will be aiming to go back-to-back for the first time.
"No team has ever won back to back World Cup titles since it’s started so we have certainly talked about that and about being the first team to change that. We know there are massive challenges to come, all the teams will be really well prepared," said All Blacks Sevens coach Clark Laidlaw.
New Zealand Rugby’s Chief Rugby Officer Nigel Cass said excitement was growing as the tournament approached.
"The All Blacks Sevens and Black Ferns Sevens captured the nation’s attention with stunning gold medal wins at the Commonwealth Games and we look forward to seeing their performances in San Francisco.
"Rugby is growing as a global sport, and to play a World Cup tournament in San Francisco opens up a whole new audience, so we know there will be a lot of interest in this tournament."
