England announce strong Sevens squad

Game winner: Danny Care

England Saxons' Lee Dickson, Rob Webber and Ben Foden will warm up for the 2008 Barclays Churchill Cup at the London Sevens at the end of May.

Dickson and Webber will make their England Sevens debut as all three take to the Twickenham turf for the two-day event.

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

"I'm really enthusiastic about being at Twickenham," said Coach Ben Ryan,

"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 U20 World Championships."

England Sevens squad: Jack Adams (Gloucester), Kevin Barrett (Exeter Chiefs), Tom Biggs (Leeds Carnegie), Chris Cracknell (Cornish Pirates), Lee Dickson (Newcastle Falcons), Ben Foden (Sale Sharks), Ben Gollings (Sunnybank, Australia), Uche Odouza (Worcester Warriors), Ollie Phillips (Newcastle Falcons), Andy Vilk (Sale Sharks, captain), Rob Webber (London Wasps), Tom Youngs (Leicester Tigers)
