The roster features six players from the USA Sevens residency program and two from the USA Women’s XVs player pool in Kortney Keuhl and Sarah Levy. Club Sevens MVP Teigan MacDonald and USA Women’s U20s player Cassidy Bargell are both included.
As the official development program for the senior national team,the Falcons will see players with a mix of experience compete together over the two days. The Falcons will face All Blues and ORSU in Pool A and one opponent from Pool B in Atlantis.
“We spend a lot of time on the training paddock with little playing opportunities for many of our resident squad,” said Head Coach Chris Brown. “I’m excited for a number of our core players to have the opportunity to get out there and express themselves as they carry the flag for the program this weekend.
“I’m also excited to spend more time with a few of our next generation players as we build through this week. What's been a real positive is the time this group has spent together over the last three months. The job General Manager Emilie Bydwell has done to ensure we’ve had sufficient prep time has been outstanding. Especially for us as a group in bringing in a high level of consistent individuals in the last six months.”
