Pool draws for London and Scotland Sevens

Fiji is drawn with Kenya, USA and Scotland in Pool C for the London Sevens.

The Iliesa Tanivula-coached side will face a tough challenge from the giant killers Kenya, which has been the most improved team in the 2008/2009 IRB series so far.

South Africa is top seed in Pool A with Australia, Wales and Germany. England heads Pool B with Samoa, France and Georgia while Argentina and New Zealand are the top teams in Pool D that also has Portugal and Canada.

The London Sevens will be played at Twickenham on May 23-24.

THE SCOTLAND SEVENS DRAWS

The national sevens side is drawn with Australia, Portugal and Spain for the upcoming Scotland Sevens.

Australia with a good outing in Adelaide Sevens seems to be the only threat to the national sevens side in the pool.

Spain and Portugal are not seen as a danger but never know - with current sevens trend and consistency - any team can be the winner in the abbreviated code.

The pool of death is Pool A where IRB point leaders South Africa and New Zealand are drawn with France and USA.

Pool C is also expected to be a thriller when giantkiller Kenya is drawn with second placed England with Canada and Scotland while Argentina is the top seed in Pool D with Wales, Samoa and Georgia.

The Scotland Sevens at Murrayfield is on May 30-31.
