New Zealand sevens player Ruby Tui bleeds from a head wound suffered against Fiji. Tui needed seven stitches for the wound on her forehead, but said she was fine in a post on Instagram. The tournament in Townsville is the final opportunity for the players to stake their claim to a spot in the final squad for the Olympics. The All Blacks Sevens are also in Townsville, with a men's tournament running alongside the womens'. Both teams have to nominate their 16-strong teams for Tokyo by Tuesday, making this weekend's tournament the final chance for players to earn their spots.
