Turner, who has some previous experience in the shortened version of the game, joins Super 14 Rookie of the Year Pat McCabe, Western Force winger Nick Cummins and Wallabies 2009 spring tourist Luke Morahan as four fresh faces in the Games team among seasoned Sevens campaigners who competed during the recent IRB Sevens World Series. NSW Waratahs recruit Patrick McCutcheon reassumes the captaincy from James Stannard after missing the final two legs of the Sevens World Series to compete in the Super Rugby finals. The Sevens competition will take place at Delhi University on October 11-12.

Squad: Robbie Coleman, Nick Cummins, Bernard Foley, Liam Gill, Pat McCabe, Pat McCutcheon, Luke Morahan, Nick Phipps, Brian Sefanaia, Kimami Sitauti, James Stannard, Lachie Turner.

"Personally, I hope to bring something different to the side, but also I hope to bring my experience as well. I've been around for a while, played for a few teams around the world, so I have a lot of experience and leadership to bring to the team," he said. "It's an exciting time to come to the club and I guess it's made me even more hungry to come and play. The Chiefs have offered me a contract and now I am just determined to repay that faith they have shown in me."

However, the South Africa hooker will have to sit out the next four weeks after medial ligament damage he suffered during the Currie Cup encounter. Botha has not played for the Springboks since 2007, but his form since returning to the Loftus Versfeld unit from Harlequins at the start of this season has seen him push for a place in Peter de Villiers' side. Team doctor Org Strauss said, "He will recover through rehabilitation."
