SYDNEY (Reuters) - James Stannard will captain the Australian men's rugby sevens team at next month's Commonwealth Games after Lewis Holland was ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Holland was named in the squad last week despite awaiting the results of scans after he was injured during the recent World Sevens Series tournament in Vancouver. He has been ruled out of action for two months.
