Fijian Andrew Durutalo is making a comeback to the USA 7s team after missing out on the World Rugby 7s Series last season after signing with the Sunwolves of Super Rugby.

Head coach Mike Friday has named six players from the Olympics squad.

USA are in pool B with South Africa, Scotland and Uganda.

Meanwhile, the upcoming HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series will be broadcast to more than 100 countries and territories.

Off the back of a successful Olympic Games in Rio, the men's and women's series get underway on Friday at The Sevens Stadium.

Millions of live viewers tuned in last season to watch Fiji claim the series title, before Australia became the first team from their country to claim the women's series.

The Vodafone Fiji 7s team will play their first game against Canada at 7.52pm Friday and face Wales at 11.47pm.

They will play their final pool match against Argentina at 4.48am Saturday.

The Cup quarters start at 8pm Saturday, the Cup semis start at 1.41am Sunday while the Final kicks off at 4.33am Sunday.
