SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia named former Wallabies winger Mark Nawaqanitawase and ACT Brumbies flyer Corey Toole in their men's squad for the rugby sevens tournament at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday.

Tall and quick, Nawaqanitawase was one of Australia's best performers in a disappointing World Cup campaign last year and will leave for rugby league's Sydney Roosters after the Paris tournament.
