Tietjens calls for review of sevens status

New Zealand sevens coach Gordon Tietjens wants the sevens rugby versus Super 12 argument resolved before the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 12 months time.

Following his team's 19-29 loss to Fiji in the World Cup sevens final in Hong Kong, Tietjens called for a NZRFU review of sevens' uncertain status next to the 15-man code.

New Zealand's buildup to the tournament was marred by confusion when Tietjens failed to get most of the Super 12 players he was entitled to request for a World Cup.
