North American Lions Named For Dubai

The North American Lions have named their team to compete in the Dubai 7s U19 Invitational.
The squad was fairly well set in September, but the coaches and management waited until now to announce just to make sure the players were available.
Many of these players competed in the NAHS 7s series—the Tropical 7s and the NAI 7s—but there are no players returning from the squad that won the Dubai U19s in 2018.
Pools have yet to be announced but teams from all over the world are expected.
