Three Fiji born players will feature for the All Black 7s in next week's Gold Coast 7s.

Veteran playmaker Tomasi Cama Jnr, Waisake Naholo and Lote Raikabula are among the 12 players selected.

Coach Gordon Tietjens has opted for experience to begin their defense of the IRB World Series title with seven players retained from the team that won the Rugby World Cup Sevens.

Wellington Ambrose Curtis is the only debutant in the side along with seasoned campaigners like Scott Curry, Sam Dickson, DJ Forbes, Mark Jackman, Tim Mickelson, Sherwin Stowers, Belgium Tuatagaloa and Joe Webber.

New Zealand is pooled with Kenya, USA and Tonga.

The Gold Coast 7s kicks off next Saturday.
