England Sevens Fixtures and Results Hong Kong 2007 as they come in. Also England Sevens squad listed for Hong Kong and Adelaide...
England Sevens team move onto Hong Kong for the next round of the IRB Sevens Series 2007. This is as three day event and England currently sit in fifth place in the Series standings, 24 points behind joint leaders Fiji and New Zealand. The Hong Kong event has seen 14 players go on to play for the senior England side. Add to that the likes of James Haskell, a recent graduate from the Sevens, and it becomes clear that England continues to benefit greatly from its investment in the shorter game.
The players who have graduated from the Hong Kong Sevens to the senior side in the past four years are: Geoff Appleford, Josh Lewsey, Phil Greening, Henry Paul, Jamie Noon, James Simpson-Daniel, Mike Stephenson, Peter Richards, Pat Sanderson, Dan Scarborough, Dan Luger, David Strettle, Mathew Tait, Tom Varndell
Simon Amor Captain said: , "It's been great from a Sevens perspective but it does make it hugely challenging to bring the guys on when the Sevens players are developing and excelling so quickly through the set-up. I guess we're a victim of our own success to a certain extent but it does give opportunities to new guys to come and take on board all that Sevens has to offer."
