Unhappy rugby fans are calling on New Zealand Rugby to drop the All Blacks tag given to our national sevens team. Others suggested New Zealand Rugby had not given enough support to the Sevens team and that more top 15-man players should have been made available. A poll on the Herald site after the shock 14-12 defeat to Japan showed 68% of respondents wanted the All Blacks name removed from the Sevens team. Callers into Martin Devlin's show on Radio Sport also condemned the Sevens side being referred to as All Blacks. One texter wrote: "There is only one team that is called the All Blacks as far as I'm concerned."
