[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 312209, member: 12332"] [B]The pools and match schedule for the London Sevens at Twickenham on May 22-23 have been announced by the International Rugby Board (IRB). [/B] Samoa currently lead the Series by three points from New Zealand and as a result are the top seeds in the 16-team tournament with New Zealand, Fiji and Australia also heading a pool. The opening match will be a repeat of the Cup final in Adelaide last month with Samoa looking to beat USA and get their challenge for a fourth successive Cup ***le off to a flying start before facing Italy and Argentina in Pool A. Defending champions England will face two traditional sporting rivals on day one against Australia - the side they beat in the Hong Kong Cup quarter-finals - and Scotland, with Russia the other side in Pool D. New Zealand, winners in Dubai and George in December, are joined in Pool B by crowd favourites Kenya, RWC Sevens champions Wales and Portugal. South Africa, the defending IRB Sevens World Series champions, will be hoping to end a run of five straight losses to Fiji this season when they come face to face in Pool C, which also features Canada and France.
