International career

Sevens

Chad Tuoro was selected in the New Zealand Sevens squad of 13 for the third tournament of the 2007/2008 IRB World Sevens Series in Wellington. He was the only one potential debutant amongst the group. But Nigel Hunt had passed a fitness test, it meant that Chad would miss out on the tournament.[1] At age 26, Tuoro went on to make his international debut for the side in Hong Kong along with North Harbour winger Nafi Tuitavake.[2] In 2008 he made a further three appearances in Adelaide and the final two tournaments in London and Edinburgh as he replaced Solomon King because of injury.[3]

Tuoro started 2009 off in San Diego having replaced Tomasi Cama and Edwin Cocker.[4] He continued to be a key contributor for New Zealand, appearing in Hong Kong, Adelaide, London, Edinburgh and including the 2009 Rugby World Cup, recording 2 tries against Italy and Tonga.[5]
