Teams named for Asia Pacific Seniors Touch Cup

England's road to New Zealand passes through Japan in early October with our first appearance at the Asia Pacific Seniors Touch Cup.

Six teams are heading to Utsunomiya, just north of Tokyo, between October 7-10, where they will be challenged by some of the top teams in the world, not least Australia and New Zealand.

This is the first time that England has entered an Asia Pacific competition, and the first time that the nation will have played in Japan.
