NZ star out of Commonwealth Games

Joe Webber, who was a member of the 2014 Commonwealth Games silver medal winning team, has withdrawn from the squad due to injury.

He has been replaced by Akuila Rokolisoa, who made an impressive debut for the All Blacks Sevens in Hong Kong last weekend.

Teddy Stanaway becomes the travelling reserve. 

The men kick off their campaign against Zambia on Saturday, followed by pool matches against Kenya and Canada.
