After each back-to-back legs on the 2009/10 IRB Sevens World Series, Robin Heymann will be picking a side from the players he feels have delivered the most over the two tournaments.

Many players have put their hands up in Dubai and George but here are the UR7s choices. Agree or disagree we want to hear your thoughts so please leave some comments. Who did we miss out? Who have you enjoyed watching so far this season? Let's hear your views Sevens fans...

Best of Dubai/George VII

1.Isoa Damu (England)
The languid and hugely elusive Army officer has come storming back from that nasty shoulder dislocation he suffered in Hong Kong. Hugely effective at re-starts, he brings that Fijian panache with the uncanny ability to fix defenders resulting in many try-scoring assists. Happy to slow the tempo and build attacks and now an experienced campaigner. The ultimate 7s all-rounder.

2.Jake Abbott (England)
Yes it’s another Englishmen but this year’s IRB Sevens debutant Abbott looks like he has played top-level Sevens all his life. Filling the boots of the highly effective in Rob Vickerman in the England front line, his support work, running lines, reliable defense, and crucial tries have really impressed coach Ben Ryan. Can only get better and better…

3.Pat McCutcheon (Australia)
The Australian skipper has led his young charges from the front with a series of determined and committed displays. He was superb on Day 2 in Dubai where his side held out South Africa to take the plate and continued that form in South Africa when the rest of his colleagues were struggling.

4.Nicolas Bruzzone (Argentina)
Argentina’s performances in Dubai and George have very much been team efforts, with each man contributing to the overall cause. But half-back Bruzzone has been a crucial for the Pumas, scoring nine tries in propelling his team to reaching a Cup Quarter-Final (Dubai) and Cup Semi (George). He adds creativity and energy but isn’t afraid to do some donkey work. Coach Nicholas Fernandez Lobbe will be praying he can stay fit and healthy for the rest of the Series.

5. Lolo Lui (Samoa)
Samaon captain Lui was in inspired form in Dubai and on day one in South Africa. Injury cost him from taking any part in the knockouts in George and his side looked lacked flat without him. Taking over the huge void left by Uale Mai, Lui has flourished scoring crucial tries and slotting kicks from here, there and everywhere – who can forget the post hooter conversion that knocked down Australia in Dubai?! Supremely talented and another one to bracket as the complete modern-day international Sevens player.

6. William Ryder (Fiji)
With so much expectation heaped onto Ryder upon his return to IRB Sevens, the ‘Bua Bullet’ more than delivered. Critics pointed out the Sevens has moved on and Ryder would get found out. How very wrong were they. Adding that X Factor with an ability to play in any position, Ryder was sumptuous. Incredible balance, vision, hands, and streamline speed has bought him 11 tries with 107 points to boot. Welcome back Willy.

7. Sherwin Stowers (New Zealand)
Not wanted by any Super 14 sides and facing the possibility of drifting into the abyss of talented players who never quite made it, Stowers has been an IRB Sevens revelation. The 23-year-old clocked nine tries in Dubai then followed it up with seven more in George to lead the overall try-scoring log. Rapid with an ability to slice up open teams with incredible acceleration and electric feet, the Counties Manakau man gives the Kiwis the perfect blend.

Replacements:

Simaika Mikaele (Samoa) – Unlucky not to start in this side. Mikaele has been at his brutish best thus far this season, putting the pacific islanders on the front foot with his direct and confrontational style.
 

Christian Wade (England) - A niggly hamstring rendered him to strictly water boy duties in the desert but the Wasps and England Under 20’s winger was destructive in South Africa. Co-leading try-scorer with some blistering efforts. Importantly he showed composure in defense also.

Ben Souness (New Zealand) - Often overlooked but he’s just so reliable. Made a big impression in George and showed some lovely neat touches while always performing his basics well.

Vasily Artemyev (Russia) - Russia has been one of the major success stories from the first two legs and pushed Wales all the way in their Bowl Final in George. Educated in Ireland, Artemyev has an eye for the line and brings some creativity to the steely Russians. 11 impressive tries.

Tomasi Cama (New Zealand) - After a quiet 08/09, Cama looks sharp and hungry again. Described by Gordon Tietjen’s as one of his major ‘cornerstones’. He delivered when needed most in the finals in Dubai and George.
