Pontypridd’s Adam Thomas will lead the squad into action in what will be the first round of the 7’s European Championship. The last round will take place in Bucharest on 21/22 September 2013.

The Rugby World Cup which will be staged in Moscow later this month, is rapidly approaching so this weekend’s tournament will give John the opportunity to run the rule over his squad.

“It’s a chance for players to put their hand up for selection in terms of the World Cup while it’s also a chance for some players to get some game time as our cup preparations gather momentum,” said John.

Wales Sevens squad: Adam Thomas (capt), Rhys Shellard, James Davies, Jason Harries, Iolo Evans, Rhys Jones, Alex Walker, Nicky Griffiths, Will Thomas, Richard Smith, Chris Knight, Luke Morgan.
