The New Zealand Sevens teams head to their fourth tournament of the season, the Vancouver Sevens in Canada needing wins.
The Black Ferns Sevens are two points ahead of rivals Australia in the standing and feature one potential debutant. The men's team is seventh overall and requires some confience boosting wins.
