Tom Mitchell will captain the team in what will be his second Rugby World Cup Sevens after he and fellow teammates Mike Ellery, all-time leading try scorer Dan Norton and England Sevens’ most capped player James Rodwell reached the final in Moscow 2013.
Dan Bibby, Ethan Waddleton, Ryan Olowofela and Tom Bowen were unavailable for selection due to injury.
England secured their spot for San Francisco as one of the eight quarter-finalists from the last Rugby World Cup Sevens in Moscow 2013.
