Mount sevens player makes Samoan team

The 21-year-old from Mount Maunganui now has his answer after Sir Gordon Tietjens selected him in the Samoan team for the next two legs of the HSBC World Series in Las Vegas and Vancouver.

"It is an absolute honour to play for them and I am really excited to play for them. The culture is different and I looking forward to it. It will be an awesome experience," Kayes said.

His biggest challenge is learning to communicate with his team-mates who speak Samoan.
