All Blacks sevens rugby coach Sir Gordon Tietjens believes the injury concerns in his side will not affect their performance in Las Vegas this weekend.

The World Series champions suffered a major setback after key play maker Tomasi Cama Junior was ruled out due to injury and yesterday Joe Webber and Sherwin Stowers were unavailable due to injury as well.

Yesterday Tietjens recalled Waisake Naholo and David Raikuna.

Tietjens says they will use different tactics this weekend because there is not as much width on the field so there is a lot more contact and he has picked a side he believes can do the work for NZ.

The USA 7s will kick off this Saturday and Fiji will play Scotland at 1:06pm before meeting Australia at 4:02pm.

The final pool game is against New Zealand at 9:50am this Sunday.
