Head of England Sevens Simon Amor has named his 20-man squad for the 2018/19 season which will include the World Rugby Sevens Series and the Rugby Europe Sevens Grand Prix Series.
This season carries added significance in that it is the qualifying season for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and as with Rio 2016, England is the nominated nation to qualify Team GB for Tokyo 2020.
The 2018/19 England Men’s Sevens squad is split into senior, academy and university players. The experienced senior set-up features five Olympic silver medallists from Rio 2016 in Dan Bibby, Phil Burgess, Tom Mitchell, Ollie Lindsay-Hague and all-time leading try scorer Dan Norton.
