The Australian Men's 7s team has made two changes to their side as they hunt for the World Series title at the Los Angeles 7s.

They enter the final leg of the 2021/2022 World 7s Series in second place, just two points behind Commonwealth champions, South Africa.

Billy Meakes and James Turner have been called into the squad.

Other players named in the Australian side include Henry Hutchison, Corey Toole, Dietrich Roache, Henry Paterson, Josh Turner, Matt Gonzalez, Stu Dunbar, Nick Malouf (c), Maurice Longbottom, Nathan Lawson and Ben Marr.

Australia is pooled with Spain, Argentina and Japan.

The LA 7s will start next Sunday.
