Hamilton is the new stage for this year’s New Zealand round, and is set to welcome more than 50,000 fans through its doors on 3-4 February. Much like the tournament, teams will look at this as a fresh opportunity to get valuable points which will help them climb the series table and improve their Rugby World Cup Sevens seedings ahead of San Francisco in July. 

Ahead of the opening round of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in Dubai, we cherry pick seven men's stars who we believe will make an impact.
