New Zealand 7s team has named its final squad for Tokyo Olympic Games with Fijians Akuila Rokosiloa and Vilimoni Koroi missing out on selection.

Tim Mikkelson will lead the pack with Scott Curry, Kurt Baker, Dyan Collier, Sam Dickson, Andrew Knewstubb, Ngarohi Mcgarvey-Black, Sione Molia, Tone Ng Shiu, Etene Nanai-Seturo, Regan Ware, and Joe Webber.

Meanwhile, Caleb Clarke has only been named as a traveling reserve in the squad.

Clarke’s omission from the main 12-man squad comes after his switch from 15s after Super Rugby Aotearoa finished in early May.

Both Kiwi teams are reigning World Cup and Commonwealth Games champions, but they will be chasing the first Olympic gold medal in Tokyo.

At the inaugural Olympic sevens tournament at the 2016 Rio Games, the Black Ferns sevens collected a silver medal after losing the final to Australia.

The All Blacks sevens finished fifth in Rio after a shock defeat to Japan in the pool stage.

Fiji then knocked them out in the quarterfinals and went on to win the gold
