(Reuters) - Samu Kerevi thought his international career was over after the 2019 Rugby World Cup but he may get another chance to represent Australia at the Tokyo Olympics after being selected in a 13-man sevens squad for a warmup tournament this month.

Australia are due to face Olympic gold medallists Fiji, world champions New Zealand and an Oceania Barbarians team in the June 25-27 event in Townsville, Queensland.
