All Blacks and England set for quarter-final clash
January 12, 2002

England face a daunting quarter-final clash in the IRB world series sevens tournament in Mar del Plata, Argentina, later today.

England have been drawn against sevens giants New Zealand after booking their place in the last eight.

England began the tournament with a 45-0 victory over Paraguay and then defeated Chile 43-0, scoring tries through Ben Gollings (3), Mark Cueto, James Simpson-Daniel, Adam Balding and Richard Haughton.

Although England lost their final group match 12-7 to Australia, conceding a last-minute try, they had still done enough to book their place in the last eight.
