FORMER Worcester Warriors back row forward Richard de Carpentier has been named in the Great Britain Lions squad for the opening round of the Rugby Europe Grand Prix Sevens Series in Moscow.
Two Great Britain Sevens sides have been entered in the event, with GB Royals also competing this weekend, in preparation for the Rio Olympics.
Each GB team features players from across the unions, with coaches Simon Amor and Gareth Williams considering a number of factors in their selection.
The GB Lions will play Portugal, France and Poland on Saturday, while the GB Royals face Georgia, Lithuania and Russia.
