The Wellington round of the World Rugby Sevens is to move to a Saturday‑Sunday format and will be played at the end of January.
Radio New Zealand reports that the Wellington 7's next year will be held on the 30th to the 31st of January.
The Sevens has usually been played on a Friday and Saturday in early February.
This year's sevens tournament failed to sell out and organisers have been looking to strengthen interest with the contract for the tournament up in 2016.
Wellington Racing Club Vice President and Mayor of Upper Hutt Wayne Guppy says the two organisations had been looking at ways to work more closely together for some time.
