England Sevens captain Ollie Phillips was named IRB Sevens Player of the Year.
Phillips led England to seven events in this year's IRB Sevens World Series and was inspirational in their two Cup successes, a first ever in Wellington and a first for five years at their home London Sevens at Twickenham last weekend.

"It's been a fantastic year personally and collectively for our team and to captain any England side is a huge honour," said Phillips to Planet Rugby. "I was surprised to be on the shortlist of nominees for the award, so to win it is really very special.
