Simon's Armour gets tested as he makes no change in the English 7s team

England rugby head coach, Simon Amor has decided against making any changes to his squad for the next round of the World Rugby Sevens Series.

England are second in the standings and face games against Papua New Guinea, Argentina and Kenya in Pool A in Wellington.

Amor says they have a fully fit squad and after a decent outcome from the first two tournaments, they are in a positive place.

England finished fourth in Wellington last year, and were runners up in 2015, contributing to an eight‑year track record of consistently finishing in the event’s top four.

Dan Bibby, Phil Burgess, Alex Davis, Tom Mitchell, Dan Norton and James Rodwell will spearhead England’s campaign.

Meanwhile, the Vodafone Fiji 7s team will play Australia in their first pool match at 10.46am next Saturday before facing Japan at 2.10pm while Fiji’s last pool match will be against South Africa at 6.18pm next Saturday.
