New Zealand sevens veteran DJ Forbes will break the record for the most tournament appearances on the World Sevens Series when he takes the field at the Dubai 7s.
Forbes will play his 80th World Series game for New Zealand in their opening pool match against Russia.

His appearance will break the record of 79 set by Samoan sevens star Uale Mai.
Forbes' record comes in a transitional period for the national side, with new coaches in Scott Waldrom and Tomasi Cama, both former team mates, replacing Gordon Tietjens in the top role.
New Zealand play Russia at 8.36 tonight, they take on Samoa at 12.20am and their last pool match is against England is at 5.32am tomorrow.
