Glover is back for England’s Las Vegas showdown

SIMON Amor has named his squad for next weekend’s Las Vegas Sevens.

England will face Canada, Wales and South Africa in their Pool B fixtures on March 2-3.

Tom Mitchell captains the side that welcomes back Harry Glover, who impressed during the opening two rounds of the series.

“We’re really excited about the unique challenge that playing in Las Vegas will bring next weekend,” said head of England Sevens Amor.

“The narrow and recently resurfaced pitch lends itself to a more confrontational style of game, and while we must make sure our intensity in these contact areas is spot on, we must still play with accuracy and excitement.

“There’s a short turnaround once you’ve had a chance to get over the jet lag coming off the back of Hamilton but we’ve worked extremely hard as a squad in preparation for Las Vegas and are looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead.

“We’re also really pleased to have Harry Glover (above) back in the squad with the excitement that he brings and are grateful to Newcastle University for releasing him for the tournament.”

Alongside the World Series tournament England’s Will Edwards, Charlie Hayter and Ryan Olowofela will compete in the Las Vegas international with Amor adding: “The invitational provides a really good opportunity for Will, Ryan and Charlie to get some more game time as they push on in developing their fitness for upcoming World Series tournaments and the Commonwealth Games.”
