England is not a team to take lightly.

New Zealand coach Gordon Tietjens said this as the Ben Ryan coached side currently sit on the number two spot in the IRB 7s points standing.

New Zealand leads the points table with 110 points while England comes in second with 105 points while Samoa and Fiji are tied at third spot with 84 points each.

Tietjens said that the side was not taken seriously in the Hong Kong 7s but this weekend, all teams that play the Englishmen should be wary.
