"It's been a long time and I guess there's only so many times you can play each other and it be fun," Niall Williams joked.
Olympic gold is the one thing that has eluded the Black Ferns Sevens who have been on a golden run since taking silver at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
Since being beaten by Australia in the inaugural sevens gold medal match they have won three Sevens Series titles, a Sevens World Cup and Commonwealth Games gold.
"They've had the right to carry that title for the last four years but our goal is to carry it for the next four years and so on. Even though this is technically a warm-up to the Olympics, we're going out there to win and only get better to make sure we can perform at the Olympics."
Rising star Manaia Nuku has yet to play an international for the Black Ferns Sevens while Jazmin Hotham made her debut at the last tournament 15 months ago.
Michaela Blyde told the Country Gold Breakfast it will be good to test the younger players in the squad who weren't part of the Olympics five years ago.
"It's going to be exciting for them to expose them to a team that is obviously one of the best in the world as well. To see how they will go against them is exciting. This is obviously a great opportunity to see if they can handle the pressure of almost an Olympic trial."
"Those young girls are going to have to test themselves mentally and physically as well who can handle the task at hand."
