Of the eight men’s teams competing, there are six spots up for grabs for nationals and with the Auckland Barbarians not eligible to qualify it means just one team will miss out. Auckland will host the Northern Region National Sevens Qualifying tournament at the Waitemata rugby Club. [4]
Waikato, North Harbour, Auckland, Counties Manukau, Bay of Plenty and Northland all qualified for 2013. Just one team missed out. That was Thames Valley this year, who lost their 6th v 7th playoff to Northland 15-10.
The Men’s competition will follow a cross pool structure with teams being split into two pools of three, each team will play all teams from the opposing pool to develop a ranking system for playoffs. Pools were selected based on official rankings from the 2012 National sevens held in Queenstown.
Hawke’s Bay, Manawatu, Taranaki, Wairarapa Bush and Wellington all qualified for the men's 2013 Pub Charity Sevens with Horowhenua Kapiti missing out after finishing 6th.
