Burey will make his sevens debut after joining the program at the start of the year.

He featured in a warm-up series in Fiji last March and has been called up by coach John Manenti.

Burey is one of several changes to the team which claimed bronze in Vancouver last month with Wagga Crows junior Stu Dunbar returning to the line up alongside Ben Dowling.

Waratahs junior Corey Toole is also in the side after making an ultra impressive start to his sevens career.

Manenti is looking for Australia to continue their strong form this season.

"After a run of podium finishes, we are striving for consistency in performance and going deep into every tournament we play in," Manenti said.

"Toulouse sees us in a very challenging pool, first up we have USA before we bounce into Scotland and New Zealand - we will need to be at the top of our game to get through the pool stages.

"The team is reasonably well settled now, with just one new edition in Max Burey, who will debut for us. Max played in some practice matches in Fiji in March where he impressed before sustaining an injury.

"Max is another product of the Shute Shield and a battled hardened performer for Norths Rugby Club.

"We're really excited for this weekend and next week in London as a chance to perform and keep building towards the Commonwealth Games."
