Lote Tuqiri hung his boots three years ago but his participation in the Brisbane Global Tens will be rated highly.

Tuqiri who played for the Wallabies Classics 7s team last weekend says the training for the Tens appearance has been a shock on his 37‑year‑old body.

He will feature for the Waratahs alongside Taqele Naiyaravoro.

Meanwhile the final three squads to contest the 2017 Brisbane Global Rugby Tens have been named, with the Blue Bulls, Panasonic Wild Knights and Tama Samoa confirming their line‑ups.

Veteran prop Census Johnson will be leading the charge for Tama Samoa which features eight Manu Samoa players and two from the Manu Samoa Sevens, including Sevens captain Tila Mealoi and try scoring machine Samoa Toloa.

Captained by Falemiga Selesele, the selection is dominated by locally based players with Johnson providing the bulk of the experience.

The Brisbane Global Tens will be held on Saturday and Sunday.
