James Rodwell (Fry's/Hawks, 2002) Best Player in Dubai 2010 7's Tournament

James Rodwell has just seen one of his greatest successes as he was named Best Player in the 2010 Dubai 7's Tournament and was part of the squad that went on to win the Tournament, beating Samoa in the final.

Earlier this year James was part of the squad that came fourth in the Commenwealth Games in Delhi and in 2009 won the IRB London Sevens at Twickenham.

James Rodwell first represented England at Rugby Sevens against the USA in Dubai, 2008. Along the way, John Caves, his university coach and Moseley team manager, was another guiding influence as James was the club's U21 player of the year in 2004-05, the players' player in 2006-07 and supporters' player in 2008-09.

Representative honours came thick and fast on his rise with Hertfordshire Schools 18 Group, London & South East U18, captaining North Midlands U20 and representing Midlands U20 foreshadowing appearances for English Universities in 2005, England Counties (2006) and England Sevens for whom he has scored ten tries.

The England Sevens squad tour the world on the annual IRB Sevens World Series, exciting crowds with tries galore in the fast-paced, high-octane abridged form of the game.
