The Aussie Sevens have welcomed back a familiar face for Paris with Henry Vanderglas named to play his first World Series tournament since 2011.
In the only other change, Will Maddocks has also been added to the squad as 13th man for the final World Series leg.
Vanderglas, 33 is set to feature on the circuit for the first time in eight years, after leaving Australia to play XVs in France in recent years.
Maddocks, older brother of Rebels winger Jack, has been with the squad since late 2018, after impressing in the Shute Shield with Easts.
Jesse Parahi and Sam Myers have returned home, while London 13th-man Jeral Skelton moving into the 12.
Australia made the Cup final in London, going down to Fiji 43-7 in the title decider, in a season-high finish.
Despite that result, they are still sitting sixth in the overall World Series rankings, well out of touch of the top four sides that secured Olympic qualification in London.
With little at stake in that regard in Paris, coach Tim Walsh said the final tournament was a good chance to test the new pair out.
Once the World Series is over, the Aussies will turn their focus to a November Oceania qualifier in Suva.
“We're in a position where we can't make the top four in the Series and we're certainly not going to be near the bottom," Walsh said.
“We want to finish as best we can and maintain momentum but we can give players, rest players and give players some opportunity.
“Looking forward to seeing Henry Vanderglas return to the Sevens fold and giving Will Maddocks a shot at it.
“He's playing very well and he's got something about him that he can really light up the Sevens field. So see how those guys go on the world stage."
A run in Paris would be a chance for Maddocks to impress Walsh for the first time.
The 24-year-old played with the Classic Wallabies in Hong Kong earlier this year and has been trianing as a development player with the national squad but is yet to get a crack on the full circuit.
While Will is a slighter build than younger brother Jack, who has starred for Melbourne this year, his game sense is something Walsh is keen to see in action.
“Will's got X-factor,” Walsh said.
“He's really, really quick. He's got some really good vision and skills and he's a great kicker too.
“He's certainly of the back three in XVs fold but got speed and vision so you can put him anywhere in that centre/wing/even a ball player but he's coming in really as a finisher and to get some experience.":
Walsh said Vanderglas’s experience would be invaluable for the team.
The forward won a Cup final with the Aussies back in 2010 in London and has spent more than a decade playing rugby around the world.
“Vanders is, he's a machine, he's a physical specimen, very experienced and he's really made some sacrifices but he's made a choice in the last four months to really give it a crack,” Walsh said.
“He's been an elite professional and he's bringing an edge to training but also that maturity and professionalism that the team has really been needing.
“Very excited to see him back out there and hopefully he can add some real value and have a real story there for the Sevens program.”
