Fehi Fineanganofo is the latest example of a player progressing from the All Blacks Sevens to the All Blacks, earning national selection just two years after representing New Zealand in sevens at the Olympic Games.
We take a look at the last seven players to graduate from the All Blacks Sevens to international Test rugby.
Fineanganofo arrived in the Bay of Plenty after injuries curtailed his development following a standout school career with Auckland Grammar School. He made his All Blacks Sevens debut in a trial tournament in Wellington ahead of the Tokyo Olympic Games and went on to make his World Series debut in Los Angeles in 2023. His trademark explosive running game quickly caught attention, and former All Blacks Sevens coach Clark Laidlaw signed him to join the Hurricanes. The rest, as they say, is history.
