Sonny Bill Williams has not made a huge difference since he joined the All Blacks Sevens squad.
It appears not even code‑swapping superstar Sonny Bill Williams can help save the Wellington Sevens, with only about 8000 tickets to next weekend's event sold so far.
The number has been confirmed by NZ Rugby Chief Executive Steve Tew.
Williams is set to make his New Zealand Sevens debut at the tournament, ahead of a likely appearance at the Rio Olympic Games in August.
New Zealand is in Pool A with South Africa, Scotland and Russia.
