Great Britain Sevens are looking to use players from XV-a-side to strengthen their squad for this summers Olympics in Rio. Mens head coach Simon Amor plans to select a large training group in May ahead of naming the final squad of 12 players in July.The RFU has been criticised for a lack of preparation ahead of the summer showpiece, with other nations agreeing the release of big names from their respective XV-a-side squads including Sonny Bill Williams, Quade Cooper and Bryan Habana. Amor was appointed head coach of England Sevens in 2013 and was named as the Team GB coach last July.Ive been looking closely both at sevens specialists from across the three unions and a number of the XV-a-side players throughout the season and know the balance we need in the squad, he said. Sonny Bill Williams could be included in New Zealand squad Previous international sevens experience is important for the players coming in and certain positions and skill sets allow them to blend better with current sevens players.Eddie Jones England are on tour in Australia in the summer and the Saxons are travelling to South Africa.Wales, Scotland and Ireland, whose Northern Ireland players are eligible for Team GB, are also scheduled to travel overseas in June. Bryan Habana heading to Rio for South Africa this summer Amor is planning to enter two squads into a series of tournaments in June and July before naming his final party for the Olympics.Being able to enter two GB teams in all competitions allows us to test different combinations and confirm which XV-a-side players can make the physical, mental and game-understanding transition, he said.

New Zealand 77 for 2 (Raval 35*, Taylor 29*) v PakistanScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsPersistent rain ruled out any chance of play in the second and third sessions after Pakistan, having chosen an all-seam attack on a green pitch, picked up two New Zealand wickets after winning the toss. New Zealand batted positively, going after anything marginally loose, and scored 77 runs in 21 overs before rain forced an early lunch, 15 minutes before schedule. With intermittent showers continuing to afflict Seddon Park, umpires called off play at 4pm.It left the Test match suspended in an interesting though still embryonic position with Jeet Raval, carrying on from his impressive debut in Christchurch, batting on 35 and Ross Taylor, who seemed unbothered by the pterygium in his left eye, on 29 off 20 balls.Taylor looked far more assured than he had done in either South Africa or India, lining up in a more side-on stance than normal, and, perhaps as a consequence, lifting his bat up behind him rather than out towards gully as is usually the case, allowing it to come down straighter in defence while having no adverse effect on his traditional strength, the square-cut. Of the six fours he hit, five came off this shot.This was also because Pakistan bowled too short and too wide at him, and in general werent as accurate as the conditions demanded. Sohail Khan and Wahab Riaz were particularly guilty of spraying the ball around, while Imran Khan, returning to the Test line-up after more than a year, looked rusty, often slanting the ball too wide of off stump to make Raval play.It was a curious unraveling after Mohammad Amir had begun as well as he possibly could have, every ball of his first over tight on off stump, curling away from a good length or just short of it, forcing the two left-handed openers to play, and produced four edges aand two plays-and-misses.dddddddddddd Two of the edges carried to Sami Aslam at first slip. He dropped the first, at knee height while falling to his left, to reprieve Raval, and caught the second, to send back Tom Latham for a first-ball duck.Aside from that let-off and a couple of loose drives away from his body, Raval showed impressive judgment outside off, particularly against the right-armers angling the ball across him. He profited particularly from nudges off his legs and pulls, the latter shot rather effective on a pitch where the ball came through with true bounce but not a lot of pace.Kane Williamson looked in excellent touch in his 42-ball stay at the crease, easing two effortless drives through the off side when Amir overpitched, and defending with the softest hands in the game. When Amir dropped a difficult return catch in the fifth over of the morning, off a firmly hit straight drive, it looked as if Williamson might go on and make a substantial score, but it wasnt to be, as he fell to Sohail after a Pakistan review.Getting the ball to nibble in from outside off stump, Sohail produced a tentative, half-forward poke, and the bowler and all the fielders behind the wicket went up instinctively when they heard a click through to the keeper. Simon Fry gave it not out on the field, and Ian Gould, the third umpire, overturned his decision; it seemed a tight call to make. HotSpot did not register an edge, and the Real-Time Snickometer seemed to show a spike an instant after the ball passed his inside edge, suggesting it may have hit his elbow. Some of the TV commentators, however, said they heard a double-noise, indicating the ball may have kissed the edge and then hit Williamsons elbow. ' ' '
