Akuila Rokolisoa is back after missing three tournaments, while Scott Curry, Sam Dickson and Joe Webber also return from injury.

Former Wallabies captain Michael Hooper's Olympics dream could be over too... he's been left out of the Australian men's squad for the Madrid tournament.

Hooper will now have to overcome various niggling injuries and prove himself in training, if he's to make the final cut for the Paris Games.
