Lee Jones will feature in Moscow
Great Britain Sevens compete for the first time this weekend when they play in Moscow in the opening round of the Rugby Europe Grand Prix Sevens Series with both Lee Jones and Mark Bennett set to be involved.

The wider training squad gathered on Monday and two teams are entered in the event, playing as the GB Lions and GB Royals.

Lee Jones has recent experience of competing on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series as well as at the 2014 Commonwealth Games having played well for the Warriors this season, notching two tries against Scarlets at the tail end of last season.

Coach Simon Amor said: “Lee gives us options in a number of positions and was right on the edge of making the initial squad. He’ a very talented player."
