Nick Cummins has been called up to the Qantas Australian Men’s Sevens squad by Head Coach Andy Friend for next week’s Hong Kong Sevens.

Cummins won the last of his eight World Series caps in May 2007 and last represented Australia in the abbreviated form of the game at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.

New signing Frank Winterstein will also travel with the squad that heads to Hong Kong on Monday as the 13th player.
