Exeter Chiefs scrum-half Kevin Barrett and flanker Chris Cracknell have kept their places in the England sevens squad for the Edinburgh sevens.

Cracknell, who joined the Chiefs from south west rivals the Cornish Pirates last month, was called up for the first time for the London sevens last week.

England face favourites New Zealand as well as Portugal and Russia in Saturday's pool matches at Murrayfield. England beat the Kiwis for the first time in five years last week.
