England Sevens’ all‑time leading try scorer Dan Norton

England 7s coach Simon Amor has named the 12 players who will represent their country at the Rugby World Cup Sevens in San Francisco next weekend.

The squad includes 10 bronze medallists from the recent Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and six players who represented Team Great Britain at the Rio 2016 Olympics where they secured silver.

Tom Mitchell will captain the team in what will be his second Rugby World Cup Sevens after he and fellow team‑mates Mike Ellery, all‑time leading try scorer Dan Norton and England Sevens’ most capped player James Rodwell reached the final in Moscow 2013.

England, who are seeded fourth in the World Cup behind South Africa, Fiji and New Zealand will play their first game next Saturday against the winner of Samoa and Uganda.

England Sevens squad: Phil Burgess, Alex Davis, Richard de Carpentier, Will Edwards, Mike Ellery, Harry Glover, Ollie Lindsay‑Hague, Ruaridh McConnochie, Tom Mitchell (c), Will Muir, Dan Norton, James Rodwell.
