Former Fiji under 20 rep Peter Lee is the latest inclusion in the Australian Sevens team for the NZ and USA Sevens after a thigh injury to Cameron Clarke.
Lee who hails from Yawe in Kadavu made his debut for Australia in Dubai and went on to play in Port Elizabeth late last year.
Wellington will be Lee’s third cap, after forcing his way into the selection frame following a single outing with the Australian Sevens development squad in 2011.
The Australian Sevens team will be boosted with the return of playmaker Allan Fa’alava’au, Shannon Walker and Jordan Tuapou
Australia is in Pool D for the NZ Sevens alongside Fiji, Portugal, and Scotland.
The New Zealand Sevens kicks off in Wellington this Friday with Fiji taking on Scotland at 1.50pm in its first pool match.
Fiji then takes on Australia at 4.46pm and the last pool match is against Portugal at 8.34pm.
Our rugby commentator Akuila Cama will accompany the team and you can catch the latest interviews and reports from Wellington - from the streets of Wellington to the players’ hotel rooms, the changing rooms and from the sidelines at Westpac Stadium.
