France power house Virimi Vakatawa has been named on the France 7's team that will play in the Hong Kong 7's next month following his involvement in the Six Nations.

The 24‑year‑old has scored 62 tries for France since his debut in 2014.

Vakatawa's try‑scoring skills and physical presence has been evident on the France team on the 2016‑17 series, with the French currently 11th overall in the series standings after six rounds.

The side finished 15th out of 16 in the last round of the series in Vancouver.

France is in Pool B with series leaders South Africa, Kenya and Canada.

Meanwhile, the extended Vodafone Fiji 7's team will go into camp again next week as they prepare for the Hong Kong and Singapore 7's.

France squad:

Jérémy Aicardi, Jean‑Pascal Barraque, Bastien Berenguel, Terry Bouhraoua, Julien Candelon, Manoël Dall’igna, Vincent Inigo, Alexandre Lagarde, Pierre‑Gilles Lakafia, Jonathan Laugel, Jean‑Baptiste Mazoue, Stephen Parez, Virimi Vakatawa, Sacha Valleau
