If you are a budding young sevens player, it might be a good time to send your CV to Gordon Tietjens.
The New Zealand sevens team were so decimated by injuries at the Dubai Sevens that Tietjens asked tournament organisers whether there were grounds to forfeit their third-fourth playoff match against the United States.
Down to only six fully fit bodies in their final match, veteran Sherwin Stowers was then admitted to their growing injury ward with a broken arm.
That leaves captain Scott Curry, Tim Mikkelson, Stowers, Regan Ware and Gillies Kaka all facing early returns to New Zealand, meaning they will miss the Cape Town Sevens next weekend.
Joe Webber could well join them after suffering an injury to the same shoulder he had injured during Waikato's national provincial championship campaign, while DJ Forbes was only 60 per cent fit as he nursed a knee issue.
"I've never been in a tournament where we were so decimated by injuries," Tietjens said.
"Even in the last game when we were playing for third, a guy broke his arm. Sherwin Stowers broke his arm, so we've got six out now. It's crazy.
"We were playing with five men at one stage because someone got yellow carded. It's been the worst tournament I've ever [been a part of]. I can honestly say I've got five fit, uninjured players."
The injuries started mounting from New Zealand's first match of the tournament against France.
Tim Mikkelson came off with a head knock, then against Portugal debutant Regan Ware injured his ankle.
Captain Scott Curry spent Friday night in hospital after his shoulder popped out of place in the pool decider against the United States, while Forbes tweaked his knee on day one which put added pressure on a knee which has given him problems before.
Gillies Kaka flew to Dubai only one day before the tournament began, replacing injured Beaudein Waaka. In the quarterfinal against Samoa he injured his ankle and spent the rest of the day on crutches.
Augustine Pulu was the next to suffer an injury scare in the semifinals when he hyper-extended the elbow of the arm he had broken earlier this year.
Then came the third-fourth playoff, where Sherwin Stowers broke his arm and Webber hurt his shoulder.
Tietjens said it was before that final match that he wondered if New Zealand should play it at all.
"We'd even got to a stage, honestly, that we wondered whether even playing for third was really beneficial," Tietjens said.
"It was only one point. We were looking at player welfare. We thought about that, to be honest, and then we lost a player to a broken arm in that last game.
"It's horrendous. Six games we played over two days and you've had injuries like that."
Tietjens said he asked organisers if his team had to play the game, and suggested it is something that should be looked at.
"All I did was I asked the question, because realistically we were down to six fit players. If you can't field seven players, that was really what it was.
"We played a seventh, but he wasn't 100 per cent fit, and that's player welfare, so it's a bit sad.
"We've got a tournament in five days time in South Africa, after travel and everything, so the body's, it's taken a hammering this weekend because those guys haven't had any breaks, They've been continually battered and they've gutsed it out.
"Would we have [forfeited]? Certainly not, but I had to ask the question.
"It's a good question to ask. You're playing for third, there's one point in it, are you prepared to sacrifice that point?"
Tietjens said five players are likely to be called into the squad, joining Isaac Te Tamaki and Teddy Stanaway who were already on tour but left out of the 12-strong Dubai Sevens squad.
Who those players will be, however, is another question.
Tietjens said calls will be made today and players should be on planes out of New Zealand tonight, heading for South Africa.
The full training squad is only 16-strong, however, meaning Tietjens will have to look outside his contracted group.
"We've only got 16, and I've got 14 here. I've got two spare, so I'm going to have to try and get some players that I've heard have played sevens.
"It's a tough one."
Isaac Te Aute is likely to get the call, while Beaudein Waaka's fitness will also be worth a check. Lote Raikabula would be another obvious addition, although he is spending time in Fiji making a call-up more difficult.
