Sevens superstar Maddison Levi may have never played a 15s game before, but this isn't denting the confidence of the Wallaroos that she will make an impact.
Levi will get her taste on Saturday against the Black Ferns, selected off the bench to play in Auckland alongside roommate and Sevens teammate Bienne Terita.

Their inclusion reflects the influx of Sevens talent from their previous match-up with the Kiwis on ANZAC Day.
Tia Hinds will start at scrumhalf, while Alysia Lefau-Fakaosilea ends a six-year drought out of the Wallaroos.
Whilst all three have had previous Super Rugby W experience, Levi heads into the unknown with the full backing of the entire group.
"Maddi's just a really natural footballer so I think we've done a really good job this week to create a space and create an environment where she feels really comfortable to be herself," Wallaroos assistant Mike Ruthven said.
"She's picked things up really quickly and been really confident in her communication.
"Absolutely no doubt that Maddi's ready for this challenge and she'll do really well on the weekend."
Back-rower Piper Duck has been with Levi throughout the journey, with the pair spending time together through the pathways before heading their separate ways.
"We've competed since we were 17 and to now have the opportunity to be pulling on that Wallaroos jersey is incredible," Duck said.
"I think Maddi is more than ready to be taking the field on Saturday. She is such an incredible athlete. She's putting everything into this camp in learning and educating herself with the game of 15s but with the kind of style she plays, the way she carries the ball, the way she moves in that defensive line and puts pressure, she's going to add such value to us.
"It's not a matter of whether she's ready. I think is New Zealand ready for her when she comes out into that Wallaroos colours?
Flyhalf Waiaria Ellis has praised Levi's impact in her brief time in the group before she heads back to the shortened format.
"She's a world-class athlete and the GOAT [Greatest of All Time] at Sevens at the moment," Ellis added.
"She brings so much knowledge to the game. 15s and 7s are different games but rugby is rugby and she has so much confidence and clarity.
"She's asked questions when she's needed to ask questions, and just having her there and knowing that I'm going to be her team-mate, but also her ten... it's pretty crazy, and it's amazing."
