England Sevens Coach Mike Friday, said, "England have a fantastic performance record in Hong Kong and have won there the last three years, but the World Cup is on a different level and we will not be taking anything for granted. Every pool contains teams who have caused upsets before and we will have to work hard to ensure we progress from our groupWe have not performed consistently to our true potential so far in the IRB Sevens which has been disappointing but we can only look forward. England have the ability and determination to win this World Cup and create sporting history by being the only nation to hold both the 15s and 7s World Cups at the same time."
