A Great Britain sevens team will step on the field this weekend for the first time since losing their bronze medal play-off in Rio nearly five years ago.
Great Britain will be taking part in a triangular tournament on Saturday, Sunday and Monday against World Series teams Ireland and France.
The games will be closed to spectators, but will be streamed on England rugby channels.
Prior to the 2016 Games, Great Britain took the place of England in the European Championships, but -as was annouced yesterday- this will not be happening this year.
