WARRIORS flanker Jake Abbott has been included in the England training squad ahead of the forthcoming IRB Sevens World Series.
The Sixways academy star will be joined in the international set-up by Moseley back-rower James Rodwell, who trains full time with the Warriors, while former Worcester players Ben Gollings and Uche Oduoza, who is now with Newcastle Falcons, are also included.
With the decision on whether to include rugby sevens in the 2016 Olympic Games due next Friday (Oct 9) it is an exciting time to be involved with the England Sevens squad. More players will be added to the squad after an October training camp.
