Impressive Rosters for PR7s All-Star Tournament
Impressive Rosters for PR7s All-Star Tournament
The PR7s All-Star Tournament rosters were named this week with plenty of top-level 7-a-side talent for this weekend in Portland.
The rosters for the USA 7s teams (men and women) and the PR7s All-Stars combine for 12 rugby Olympians. In addition, the PR7s men's all-stars will field three players who have moved on to a USA 7s team residency.
Leading the way for the PR7s men is last year's top PR7s try-scorer Alasio Naduva, longtime USA star Martin Iosefo, and 2022 co-top-try-scorer Derek Adams.
They will play against a USA team that is quite young. David Still is back after a 7s hiatus to pursue football. Seven players from the 2024 Olympic team are joined by some newer talent, notably Peter Sio Jr., who has been a standout at Belmont Shore and CSULB as a halfback.

The women's PR7s all-stars feature Monique Coffey, who has been one of the best playmaker for the Headliners over the seasons.
Overall this is a young group of players hoping to get a longer look. Recent Harvard stars Cassidy Bargell and Brogan Mior are examples of that. Liz Tafuna has played for the USA 7s team and also professional rugby league in Australia. Cienna Jordan was a standout for All_Army 7s.
The USA women's team also is young, with only three veterans from thw 2024 Olympics in the roster as several players take time to rest up from a busy season, or recover from injury. Several of the USA players were standouts in PR7s.
