Jade Shekells is part of a 13-player group jetting off to Budapest for this weekend’s Rugby Europe Sevens Trophy Series (17-19 June live on www.rugbyeurope.tv).
England will be hoping to build on their tournament victory in Zagreb, with James Rodwell’s side facing Finland, Georgia and Israel in Pool A.
“We’ve had a strong week of training and we are looking to continue where we left off last week in Zagreb,” added Head Coach Rodwell.
“We know that we need to be diligent on and off the field as we continue our preparation for the Commonwealth Games (Birmingham 2022) and our World Cup qualifier.
“It’s an opportunity for all players to get some game time and put their hand up for selection for the game next month.”
