Weta Workshop, which manufactured more than 48,000 props for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films, hosted the captains as they posed for the media with props and famous statues from the movies.
The trilogy was shot in many locations around New Zealand, including Wellington.
All Blacks Sevens captain Scott Curry was more than happy to pose for photos with Gandalf, Gollum and others.
"I'm a fan of Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson (director) has done great work for New Zealand on the world stage," said Curry.
