Nadi first five eighth Vatemo Ravouvou will make his debut for the Vodafone Fiji 7s team next week in Japan.
The former Ratu Navula College student from Saunaka in Nadi has been named in Ben Ryan's 12 member team for the next leg.
Ravouvou was in Ryan's extended squad for the USA and New Zealand 7s but he didn't make the final cut.
Ravouvou said hard work has paid off for him and he needs to look up to Osea Kolinisau and Pio Tuwai for guidance.
The 23 year old was part of the National Under-18 side in 2008.
Veteran Setefano Cakau returns to the side along with Apisai Domolailai, Jasa Veremalua and Waisea Nacuqu.
Five players who were part of the last leg have been dropped in the likes of Jona Tuitoga, Semi Kunatani, Samu Saqiwa, Henry Seniloli and Viliame Mata while Leo Naikasau, Samisoni Viriviri, Osea Kolinisau, Donasio Ratubuli, Emosi Mulevoro, Benito Masilevu and Pio Tuwai have been retained.
The final squad for the next leg: Apisai Domolailai, Jasa Veremalua, Pio Tuwai, Setefano Cakau, Benito Masilevu, Emosi Mulevoro, Waisea Nacuqu, Vatemo Ravouvou, Donasio Ratubuli, Osea Kolinisau, Samisoni Viriviri and Leo Naikasau.
