The squad also includes IRB Sevens top point’s scorer Ben Gollings, Worcester Warriors’ speedster Uche Odouza and powerful centre Jack Adams of Gloucester.

Coach Ben Ryan commented, “I’m really enthusiastic about being at Twickenham. I have a squad of line breakers and game winners and we have home advantage so we hope to finish the season on a big high. It’s testament to the strength of English rugby that the sevens side can form a formidable squad in London and the following week in Edinburgh.

“It’s also great to see so many of this season’s sevens players involved in other senior tours like Tom Guest and Matt Banahan and Danny Care as well as the Under 20 World Championships.”
