Rob Rush, the second son of iconic New Zealand Sevens player Eric Rush, has officially joined the All Blacks Sevens squad in Cape Town. This development comes on the heels of New Zealand’s disappointing 14-0 defeat to Argentina in the bronze medal playoff of the Dubai Sevens, which saw them lose key players Joe Webber and Andrew Knewstubb.
Rob Rush has stepped in to replace Webber, while Fletcher Carpenter takes Knewstubb’s place on the team. This presents an exciting opportunity for Rob, who could potentially make his debut in the tournament. Fans of New Zealand rugby are particularly eager to witness both Rob and his brother Brady take the field together during the competition.
The All Blacks Sevens are set to kick off their campaign against the USA Sevens tomorrow at 11:54 PM, followed by a match against France Sevens at 3:35 AM on Sunday morning.
This moment marks not only a significant step in Rob Rush’s budding career but also a proud family legacy as the Rush brothers represent their country on an international stage. New Zealand fans have a lot to look forward to as the tournament unfolds.
