England 7s are unchanged for Sydney

England coach Simon Amor will go to Sydney with the same squad that competed in New Zealand 

“We had three good results in the pool stages in New Zealand but didn’t play to the standard we are capable of when it mattered on day two.  Our technical accuracy in both attack and defence was not at the level it can be.  We have worked hard on this here in Sydney and the squad are committed to taking their opportunity this weekend. 

“We had a number of players who were returning to full-fitness and will be better for the game time.  The guys have trained well in tough sessions over recent months and we are confident that with more clinical performances, coupled with their strong team-first attitude, this group can make England proud and be back on the podium.”

England Sevens squad for Sydney:

Dan Bibby
Tom Bowen

Richard de Carpentier
Ollie Lindsay-Hague
Charlie Hayter
Ruaridh McConnochie
Tom Mitchell (Captain)
