Team Profile
England are the third tournament winner from the series so far after defending their title in Dubai. That puts them fourth on the table on 47 points – just four points off joint leaders NZ and Fiji. They won in Wellington in 2009 with a heart stopping final and last minute try giving the English a 19-17 win over hosts New Zealand. Producing players like Ben Gollings, who is the all-time points leader on 2652 points in over a decade on the international stage, England have and will continue to shine on the sevens stage for years to come.

We are a bunch of Wellington-based girls, who love to look beautiful and brighten things up wherever we go and whatever we do. But we won't wilt under the heat of the Wellington Sevens - we come alive more than ever. When it comes to the Sevens rugby we all march in time to the same tune: England, England, England! We do it for the Queen, and for country, but mainly for FUN!
