KEY POINTS:
Sevens rugby captain DJ Forbes has played down fears that a mounting injury list will ruin New Zealand's chances of winning the Sevens World Cup in Dubai.
The team flew out yesterday with Forbes not fully recovered from the fractured foot and calf strain he carried through the Wellington leg of the IRB series this month. "I guess no one ever plays at 100 per cent," said Forbes.
Victor Vito, the only Super 14 player at coach Gordon Tietjens' disposal, also has a hurt knee.
