New England sevens Coach Simon Amor believes he has the players that can bring glory in Gold Coast this weekend.

Amor said the only thing that they still lack is defense.


Amor added he will try to bring in a new style of rugby for the side after taking over from Ben Ryan.

The England team has some experienced players like John Brake, Chris Cracknell, Christian Lewis-Pratt, Tom Mitchell, Dan Norton, Tom Powell, James Rodwell, Mathew Turner and Rob Vickerman.

The Gold Coast 7s kicks off at 12.30pm Saturday and England is pooled with South Africa, France and Spain.  

Meanwhile, Fiji’s first pool match is against Canada at 1.58pm Saturday. 

Fiji’s second match is against Portugal at 5.14pm and the last pool match will be against Wales at 9.24pm.

The Cup quarterfinals start at 1.58pm on Sunday, Cup semis kicks off at 5.58pm and the Cup final will be played at 9.04pm.
