An invitation to play for England
RFUW are opening up their national sevens trials to everyone.
Last year 85 women took part in the trials at Surrey Sports Park in Guildford, and the squad eventually selected included eight players with no previous experience of playing rugby in England. England then went on to win the European Sevens, and finish runners-up in Dubai.
Admittedly this seems to have been achieved by drafting in quite a few players from outside the official sevens squad - RFUW did seem to hit the panic button pretty hard when the new squad failed to achieve immediate success - but hopefully this time they may allow the squad to learn and grow. Although in the year that decides qualification for the Sevens World Cup...
Anyway, anyone interested has until 13th April to apply to take part in the trials. To submit your application go to https://secure.jotform.com/form/20522116373.
