Sevens ace Skeen sure of Scots' beef
The Scots are drawn in a pool with reigning grand prix champions Samoa as well as Australia and Canada.
Skeen, from Watsonians, says: "We've played Samoa once this year and the only difference was we couldn't win our kick-offs. Rectify that and we can compete.

Skeen has only played on Murrayfield once previously in an under-18 cup final and is determined the clinch another opportunity.
"We have been told selection for Edinburgh is performance-based on London's tournament so it is a challenge to make sure I'm part of things here.
"My only previous outing on Murrayfield was for Berwick in an under-18 cup final against Stirling."
