With 100 days to go before the Rio Olympics, Rupert Cox has put together his Great Britain Sevens Dream Team. Clayton Kershaw Jersey . Sevens will make its long-awaited Olympic debut in Rio and and Great Britain coach Simon Amor has an exciting time ahead in his bid to forge a team who can compete for a medal.Amor, who also is also the head coach of the England Sevens side, has made it clear that he has no intention of swamping his Olympic squad with 15-a-side players but has drawn up a shortlist which he believes can add value to the talented pool of Sevens players from the home unions. Wales winger George North, Scotland full-back Stuart Hogg and Wales flanker Justin Tipuric are believed to be high on Amors list, but who would be in your dream team for Rio?Cox has analysed the best players from both the 15-man game and the shortened version and presents his ultimate Team GB Sevens team. FORWARDSJustin Tipuric Justin Tipuric shows off his skills for Ospreys The Wales flanker has an all-round game well suited to Sevens. Turnovers at breakdown, high work rate and great handling skills all add up to a big impact for Team GB.With a fine international pedigree for both Wales and the Lions, he wont be overwhelmed by the big stage. Tipuric also has previous experience in the shorter format for Wales Sevens and could play either in the forwards or the backs. Maro Itoje England Rugby star Maro Itoje gives us a lesson in the breakdown With Englands restart king James Rodwell in a race to get fit for Rio, another kick-off and lineout specialist may be required. No one fits that bill better than Englands Grand Slam sensation Itoje. His aerial ability and all-round athleticism is up there with the best.Tackles, turnovers, off-loads and youthful enthusiasm - Itoje would bring a medal-winning game to a Team GB Sevens team. Sam Burgess Sevens is a game made for Burgess, says Cox Stuart Lancaster was onto something, but he played Slammin Sam out of position in the 15-a-side game. Sevens is different and the Rugby World Cup anti-hero could be devastating.Burgess would be the beast up front. A tackling machine, with massive go-forward and ferocious clear-outs at the ruck - Sam would give GB a hard edge that all good teams need. Get on the phone to Russell Crowe now!BACKSTom Mitchell Will England captain Tom Mitchell be central to Team GBs Olympic hopes? The Skipper. One of the stars of the current Sevens World Series. He is the England captain and the man that makes them tick. When hes not in the field, England struggle to mix it with the big teams.Playmaker, motivator, kicker, referee negotiator - the man they call sticky fingers is central to Team GBs chances. Dan Bibby Sevens uncovered: Dan Bibby No one has a nose for a gap like Tom Mitchells buddy Dan Bibby. He burst on to the World Rugby Sevens scene a few seasons ago and hasnt looked back. His combination with Tom Mitchell will test any defence, although Bibby will need to recover quickly from the shoulder injury which has kept him out of the Sevens Series of late. Josh Charnley Steve Diamond thinks Josh Charnley can break into Englands rugby union side A rugby league superstar who has signed for the Sale Sharks next season, Wigans long-range try specialist has out and out pace and will pick up many a free hit for Team GB if given the chance.Every good Sevens team needs a whippet, Charnleys it. Manu Tuilagi Manu Tuilahi could be a battering ram for Team GB Try stopping this guy in space. The Leicester Tigers bulldozer has the ability to break the line at will, which in Sevens more often than not means try time.Some might question Tuilagis ability to get Sevens fit but with the five-sub rule now operating you could bring him on for short bursts so the big man can wreak havoc.
