JOE Ravouvou has made a return to the All Blacks Sevens squad as they prepare to host the third stopover of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in Hamilton, New Zealand.

It will be Ravouvou’s first appearance back on the world stage since they lifted the Rugby Sevens World Cup last year.

“We are as close to full strength as you can get and we’re really excited about putting that squad on the field,” Laidlaw said.

All Blacks 7s squad:

Kurt Baker, Dylan Collier, Scott Curry, Sam Dickson, Scott Gregory, Andrew Knewstubb, Vilimoni Koroi, Tim Mikkelson, Sione Molia, Jona Nareki, Amanaki Nicole, Joe Ravouvou, Tone Ng Shiu, Regan Ware
