England 7s coach Ben Ryan is hoping experience and continuity of selection will help get his side off to the best possible start when the IRB 7s series kicks off at Dubai next week.

England tackle USA, Russia and Kenya on day one.

Ryan will once again have the services of Ben Gollings, Kevin Barrett, Isoa Damudamu and Chris Cracknell as the campaign begin next week.

Ryan says it's important to start well, and if you don't win the first two it's not going to kill your season but as South Africa showed it can give you alot of confidence.

Although the coach is hoping his side can continue to express themselves on the pitch, one aspect he feels could make a difference is an improvement in the sides kicking.

The Dubai 7s kicks off next week Friday, December 4th and South Africa are defending champions.
