The 6ft 6in winger impressed for the Ireland Development side in Dubai before Christmas and his try-scoring prowess has merited a call-up to Anthony Eddy's squad.
Awonusi is currently a student in North America and plays with university side Trinity Western Spartans in British Columbia, Canada.
His physicality, power, speed, agility and skill have allowed him to stand out from an early age, as can be seen from his highlight reel playing for Kilkenny College below:
Over the past few years he has further added to his abilities and skills, gathered more experience and has proven himself on the international stage.
Awonusi will now be focused on performing in Spain as a good showing could lead to him becoming a more permanent fixture of the Irish 7s squad, currently ranked 9th in the world.
