England 7's coach Ben Ryan has gone for young talents for the first leg of the IRB World 7's series in Dubai and George.

Ryan says the young players named in the 12-man squad will build-up towards the 2009 World Cup 7's tournament. The new comers are Jack Adams, Matthew Banahan, John Brake, Antony Elliot, Liam Gibson, Tom Guest, Simon Hunt and Tom Youngs.

He has named Andy Vilk as new team captain while Simon Amor was not considered who is now focusing on the 15-a-side game with London Wasps.

Fiji's Isoa Damudamu has retained his place in the England 7's squad.

The Dubai 7's kicks off next Saturday and England is drawn with South Africa, Canada and Tunisia.

Fiji plays Argentina in its first pool match next Saturday.
