Photo: Linda RobertsonThe decision to focus on sevens this year is turning out to be a good one for Sam Hollows. Having put netball aside to focus on the oval-ball game, she is now preparing to travel to Hokkaido, Japan, with the Black Ferns sevens development team. She was a member of last year's South Beko League champion netball team - the feeder team to the Southern Steel - and has played sevens for Otago for four years. Born in Balclutha, Hollows played rugby as a child and first played sevens for South Otago High School in her final year at the school.
