Bay of Plenty Rugby Men's Sevens head coach Paul Tietjens has named his Bay of Plenty Men's Sevens Squad for the 2017/18 season following trials held last Saturday.

He says the type of team he has selected is one that is ‘very fit'.

'Given that the game is based around conditioning, that creates a really good culture when players are working hard for each other and working hard together as a unit," says Paul.

The selected training squad features experienced All Blacks Sevens players Regan Ware, Bailey Simmonson, Scott Curry, Teddy Stanaway and Joe Webber. Five Bay of Plenty Steamers and four Bay of Plenty Apprentice players have also been selected for the squad.

The squad also features our local young talent coming through with the likes of Jeriah Mua (Tauranga Sports) and Jordy Stone (Te Puna) who have excelled in the Baywide Club Rugby and Bay of Plenty Representative seasons.

The Bay of Plenty Men's Sevens Squad will compete for the first time this weekend at the Waikato Provincial Union Sevens on Saturday.
