Treu wary of England backlash

Cape Town - The All Blacks once again loom large in England, but South Africa's Sevens rugby coach Paul Treu is wary of especially the host nation when the next tournament in the IRB Sevens World Series takes place in England on May 24 and 25.
"We are in a difficult pool together with France, Spain and England.
"The French are unpredictable as ever, Spain ended third in the European Sevens and England at home are always a hard nut to crack.
" England in particular worries me. At Twickenham they are always a force to be reckoned with. As they did not win a single game in Adelaide, I expect them to come down hard on us," Treu said.
He said that the Springboks will have to beat England first before that they can think of the play-offs.
But luckily for Treu he will have the experience of Kabamba Floors and Danwel Demas back for the England tournament.
Treu added that Eastern Province flyer Norman Nelson is training with his squad at Stellenbosch. His name was omitted when SA Rugby announced the national squad earlier this week.
