Defending Dubai 7s champion, England is aiming to make it three consecutive title wins this year.

England will try and equal New Zealand’s record title wins and have announced four changes to the team that appeared in the Gold Coast Sevens last month.

A notable return is former captain and 2009 IRB Sevens Player of the Year Ollie Phillips.

England is pooled with South Africa, Samoa and Portugal. 

Meanwhile, Digicel Fiji 7s team manager Semi Rogoyawa said
the team is injury free and morale is high in camp.

Fiji will open its Dubai campaign against Spain at 6.50pm this Friday, followed by Scotland at 10.36pm and the final pool game is against Kenya at 3.58am Saturday.
