Counties Manukau Rugby is proud to congratulate Sione Molia and Jaymie Kolose on their selection to the All Blacks Sevens and Black Ferns Sevens squads for the opening legs of the 2025–2026 HSBC SVNS Series in Dubai and Cape Town.
New Zealand Rugby has today confirmed both squads for the first two tournaments of the international season, with the teams set to kick off their campaigns in Dubai from 29 November to 1 December, before heading to Cape Town the following week.
Veteran playmaker Sione Molia remains a cornerstone of the All Blacks Sevens programme. His leadership, experience, and calm presence, now further recognised through his vice-captaincy role.
Koloses' selection continues to highlight her impressive rise in the women’s game, built on speed, footwork, and consistent performances at the highest level.
Counties Manukau Rugby warmly congratulates both players on their selections and wishes them all the best for their Sevens campaign.
- The All Blacks Sevens have been drawn in Pool B, where they will face Great Britain, Australia, and Spain.
- The Black Ferns Sevens are in Pool A, matched against France, Fiji, and USA.
