Team GB’s dream rugby sevens lineup for 2021 Olympics

BACKS:

Stuart Hogg (Scotland): He is the Scotland captain and the man that makes them tick. When he’s not in the field, the Scots struggle to mix it with the big teams. Playmaker, motivator, kicker – he’d be our captain on this stage.


Louis Rees-Zammit (Wales): He burst on to the international scene a in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. His blend of composure and speed would be perfect for the sevens game.
