All Blacks Sevens stars DJ Forbes and Niall Williams are getting ready for their last few weeks of preperation before the biggest tournament of their lives kicks off on August 6.
The duo, both integral members of the New Zealand men's and women's sides heading to Brazil, spoke on Radio Sport this morning, speaking about the preperation they have undertaken and are planning for heading into the Games.
Forbes, former captain of the men's side, said he and the rest of the men's squad had already attended a three-day training camp, where coach Gordon Tietjens had brought back his 'old-school' way of doing things.
"He's (Tietjens has gone back to his old-school ways where he's bringing out the 150's [150 metre sprints], his typical training with the 16 150's before training, so those have been a tickle up," Forbes said.
Williams, sister of All Blacks star Sonny Bill Williams, who will also be attending the Games with the men's side, revealed the women's side had been training just as hard, admitting she had never run so much in her life in the lead up to the tournament.
