Michael Hooper has produced a trademark play as Australia beat Fiji in the former Wallabies captain's rugby sevens debut.
But the 125-Test flanker also learned the pitfalls of the seven-a-side game at the marquee World Series event in Hong Kong on Friday as he later came off the bench again only to taste his first defeat against France.
Hooper was made to wait for his first taste of the action, injected with little more than two minutes remaining against the Olympic champs Fiji with his side ahead 12-0.
