Hayden Donaldson, of Christchurch, and his SWAT team mates swooped on Wellington's 10th international rugby sevens yesterday -- but the ``attack'' was foiled by ground staff. The team was blocked from entry because their helmets were judged potentially hazardous. Red Badge security ground manager Sean Hurndell said helmets were problematic, depending on how hard they were. ``It really comes down to whether they potentially could be dangerous.''
