The duo were amongst seven Scots in the extended training squad, but the other five missed out. Scott Riddell, Jamie Farndale, Gavin Lowe, Lee Jones and Joseva Nayacavou were the unfortunate ones. Borderer Robertson, 31, spent four years on Edinburgh’s books earlier in his career while Bennett, 23, decided to miss Scotland’s XV-a-side summer tour to Japan to make sure he was picked for Brazil. The men’s squad will be led by England’s Tom Mitchell and includes his fellow countryman James Rodwell, who set a new world record earlier this year after playing in 69 consecutive HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series’ tournaments.
