Australian fans will have a firsthand look at Trae "Quadzilla" Williams in the Sydney 7’s.
22-year-old Williams boasts a 100 metres personal best of 10.1 seconds, making him the fourth-fastest Australian in history.
Aussie Sevens coach Tim Walsh says Williams would bring the X-factor to their team.
He says to have the fastest player in world rugby there, ready to ignite the engine is pretty special.
Walsh says they have to as a team manipulate it and work out a way they can to put Trae "Quadzilla" Williams in that space, and allow him to use his point of difference.
Meanwhile, Luke Morahan will be the 13th man for the Aussie Sevens in the Sydney 7s.
Morahan has been training with the side this week, released from club side Bristol Bears during the Six Nations break, and is hoping to push for a Tokyo spot.
Ben O'Donnell is the big absentee in the lineup after suffering a knee injury in last weekend's Hamilton Sevens.
The Australians meet Japan and Scotland tomorrow and then play against the USA on Sunday morning.
Meanwhile, Fiji kick-off their Sydney 7s campaign against Kenya at 3.09pm tomorrow, they then play New Zealand at 9.33pm tomorrow and play Wales at 2.19pm Sunday in their last pool match.
The semi-finals start at 5.20pm Sunday while the final will be played at 9.56pm Sunday.
The women’s competition starts at 10.30am tomorrow with the Fijiana playing USA. The men’s competition kicks off at 12.57pm tomorrow with USA taking on Scotland.
