What are you dressing up as for the NZ Sevens this weekend?

Sarah Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

The countdown is on to the NZ Sevens - and the real question is, what are you going to wear?

With the help of some kind locals, Cambridge resident Maioro Barton, whose name often gets mistaken for Mario, has transformed into Super Mario himself.

Maioro's impressive moustache and decked out wheelchair are bound to turn heads at the event - do you think you can top his eye-catching get-up?

Are you going to the Sevens? Will you be pulling out all the stops when it comes to your costume? We'd love to hear your best dress-up ideas.
