ENGLAND topped Pool B on the first day of the Singapore Sevens with victories over Kenya, USA and France.
They will now face Samoa in the Cup quarterfinal on day two.
Captain Tom Mitchell, said: “We had three really tough games today and the boys put in three really clinical performances.
“It's always difficult out here in the heat and playing in these conditions, but the boys worked really hard and the attitude was spot on.”
England opened their campaign with a 28-19 victory over Kenya. They led 14-5 at the break through two Dan Norton tries, while Collins Injera replied for Kenya.
Further scores from Alex Davis and Ollie Lindsay- Hague sealed victory for Simon Amor's side with Kenya responding via William Ambaka Ndayara as well as Nelson Oyoo.
In their second pool match smart play from Dan Bibby allowed Davis to snipe through for their first try against the USA.
Lindsay-Hague had a fine minute – having produced a try-saving tackle at one end of the field, he was then on hand to dot down at the other end for 14-0.
Ruaridh McConnochie had England's third, scoring in the corner but Ben Pinkelman's converted score just before half-time gave the United States some hope.
Perry Baker had a second for the US to reduce the deficit to 19-14, but England held on for victory.
Norton ran in a superb individual try to open the scoring for England against France, with 20- year-old Charlton Kerr flying through for a second.
Tries from Charlie Hayter, Mitchell, Phil Burgess and two more from Kerr sealed the 28-19 win.
In the other quarterfinals, Pool A winners Fiji take on New Zealand, who lost to Australia in Pool D, Pool C winners South Africa face Kenya, and Australia take on Spain, who managed to beat Japan and Russia in the pool.
