OW Will Wilson (S 15) makes world series debut at the Cathy Pacific HSBC Hong Kong Sevens

Will Wilson, a No 8 who will also take up a professional contract with English Premiership side Wasps this summer, started rugby as a mini for Dubai Exiles aged five.

Now 21, he has been called into the England senior side for the first time on the HSBC World Sevens Series for the Hong Kong tournament.

“To get the call up and to see my name on the screen when the team was announced was an unbelievable feeling,” Wilson said. “I am massively excited, hugely honoured to represent my country.”
