Alot of unanswered questions will be put to rest in the New Zealand 7's when it gets underway tomorrow afternoon in Wellington.

The big question rugby pundits are asking is whether host New Zealand will be able to repeat their winning performance from Dubai and George, at home this weekend.

On paper they are the favourites as they have won at home a record 5 times since the tournament started in 1999.

Fiji and Australia have 2 wins each while defending champion England, Samoa and South Africa had a win each under their name.

For the record, Fiji won the first NZ 7s in 1999.

When Wellington hosts the 12th New Zealand 7's tomorrow and Saturday, Gordon Tietjens will be hoping to win back the title they relinquished in the dying seconds of the final last year against England, and further propel themselves towards a 9th IRB 7's series title.

Tietjens said the toughest assignment for any team in the IRB 7s circuit is to win their own tournament.
