“	Chad Tuoro is an experienced player who had an impressive national tournament for his province	”
— Gordon Tietjens, New Zealand sevens coach^[1]

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.^[2] At age 26, Tuoro went on to make his international debut for the side in Hong Kong along with North Harbour winger Nafi Tuitavake.^[3] 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.^[4]

Tuoro started 2009 off in San Diego having replaced Tomasi Cama and Edwin Cocker.^[5] 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.^[6]
