Secret to English sevens success?

Second hair removal effort in 2 weeks!

This time it was Exmouth and the products were less important than the fundraiser that was behind it (details).

But are we starting to gain an insight into the kinds of strategies that allow England’s rugby players to perform at the top level?

Previously it was Ollie Phillips, Josh Drauniniu, Neil Starling, James Rodwell and Kevin Barrett from the England 7s team trialling 5 prominent hair removal products

• Nair Easy Wax Roll on
• Elegant Touch Advanced Wax Strips
• Veet Hair Removal Cream
• Venus Embrace Razor
• Wilkinson Sword

These products (or removing leg hair generally) must have worked because England beat New Zealand to win the England International Sevens event, just 10 days later.
