Russia are the big favourites and they've beaten us consistently in recent times. Their handling is so good, the girls need to put them under massive pressure in possession and make sure they don't give the ball away cheaply.

Women finish 3rd, guaranteeing themselves as the 10th core team for the series. Well done

Prague 7s this weekend. Win this and they will be on the Grand Prix next year.

Already beat Monaco 57-0 and Cyprus 48-0. Watched the Cyprus match, it was very easy.

Next match at 2.30 against Israel. Can watch online at http://rugbyeurope.tv/en/content/160702-7s-trophy-prague-2016-day-1
