When England's Tom Varndell was last in Dubai, he was named "Player of the Tournament" after scoring ten tries in his debut IRB 7s World Series leg in 2005.
It is no surprise head Coach Ben Ryan selected the Leicester wing, who was once described by New Zealand 7s coach Gordon Tietjens as the fastest thing he had ever seen on a rugby field.
But Varndell knows he has to work hard to adopt a different approach to the one he took when he last donned the England 7s jersey in the Commonwealth games 2006 final in Melbourne, and to the fifteen-a-side format he plays at club level.
Varndell said he will give his best this weekend to see that England wins the Melrose Cup.
The English Premiership's top try-scorer last season joins a team full of confidence as they head the IRB Series standings with South Africa at the halfway mark following victory in Wellington and runners-up in san Diego last month.

Varndell to go all out
