North American Lions In Dubai - Schedule Announced
The Dubai 7s ancillary tournament has released its schedule for the Boys U19 bracket, which features a few players involved in the North America HS 7s Series.
The tournament will run November 30 to December 2 in Dubai, UAE, and Pool D includes the North American Lions, a team of top USA and Canadian players put together out of performances in the NAHS 7s - mostly the NAI 7s.
The Lions squad can be seen here.
The NA Lions will play against Olymp, KZN Barbarians, and Centurion Warriors. The event features several very strong select teams from Africa and Asia. The Celtic Barbarians, a Canadian team also active in the NAHS events, is also in Dubai. There is also a team from Brussels which is pretty close to a Belgium national team.
RC Olymp is from Ukraine, KZN Barbarians are KwaZulu Rugby from South Africa, and Centurion is also from South Africa.
Here is the Pool Play Schedule (Dubai, remember, is 4 hours ahead of UTC/GMT).
