The most experienced campaigner in the youthful Australian Sevens squad, Captain Ed Jenkins is one of three Commonwealth Games silver medallists in the squad.
Jenkins made his debut in the shortened form of the game in Wellington at the back end of 2007 but wasn’t a regular in the side until earning a recall for the 2009 Sevens World Cup in Dubai.
A member of Australia's victorious London side in 2010, Jenkins has an identical twin brother Jono who recently signed with French side Narbonne.
Currently studying Sports Business at the Australian College of Physical Education, in Sydney, Jenkins featured for the Shute Shield winning Sydney University side throughout 2010 before Sevens duty saw him miss the finals series.
