Shekells selected for England Sevens

Jade Shekells has been named in the England Women Sevens squad for the upcoming Europe World Cup qualifying tournament in Bucharest this weekend.

The Warriors Women ace has been in scintillating form for her country, earning herself a place in the Team England set-up for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Drawn in Pool B, England take on hosts Romania, Italy and Belgium with all matches streamed onĀ RugbyEurope.tv.

The tournament is made up of three pools of four teams, with the top eight teams progressing from the pools and reseeded for the quarter-finals where the winners of each will qualify for the Rugby World Cup Sevens, which takes place in South Africa in September.

Abbie Brown captains the side which is made up of players who have represented England Sevens on the 2022 World Series and Rugby Europe tournaments.
