The All Blacks sevens team finally have their wish granted by New Zealand Rugby.
The New Zealand team will move to a centralised programme based out of Mount Maunganui ahead of the next World Sevens Series.
New Zealand finished a disappointing fourth in the recent World Series with the topthree sides South Africa, England and Fiji already implementing centralised programmes.
Long time New Zealand Sevens servant DJ Forbes said having a centralised programme is where the team will get the most dividends going forward.
Forbes said in the past they've been able to have about a week together before heading to tournaments and now will be able to make massive gains as a group.
