The All Blacks Sevens squad for the last two legs of the Sevens World Series in Paris and London have been named.

All sixteen players will travel to Europe on Saturday as part of preparations for the Olympic Games in August.

The squad includes injured captain Scott Curry who will train with the squad, but not play in the tournaments.

All Blacks Sevens coach Gordon Tietjens says Sam Dickson and Joe Webber were still in the frame for selection depending on their progress with injuries.

The door also remains open for others in the event of injuries to squad members.

New Zealand has been drawn in Pool A in Paris alongside Singapore Sevens winners Kenya, Portugal and Russia.

Some players in the squad are Akira Ioane, Rieko Ioane, Kurt Baker, DJ Forbes, Sonny Bill Williams, Liam Messam, Augustine Pulu and Tim Mikkleson.

The team is currently third in the season standings behind South Africa and series leader, Fiji.
