The roster is split into two teams -- USA Stars and USA Stripes -- which feature athletes from the recently held daily training environment and mini camps, as well as the USA Sevens Residency Program.

On match-days, teams will be led by Coach Cain and Assistant Coaches Kate Daley & Jamie Burke.  Both games will be used to evaluate player progression as preparation for Rugby World Cup 2021 continues. 

Head Coach Rob Cain Said...

“Our focus the past 24 months, as a national team, as well as domestically through the WPL and collegiate game, is beginning to pay dividends as seen by the exciting squads here. Unfortunately, between us and our international competition -- who are not only playing international games but have also had full domestic seasons -- the divide is very real. Knowing this, the importance of these games has taken even more significance, allowing us to challenge the players both on and off the pitch. We are all looking forward to seeing the results of this next week. 

“Many of our players haven't played a game in 12 months and as you can imagine there is a mix of nervousness, excitement and energy in the air. These games will be an opportunity and next steps window as we near the final stages to create our team for 2021.  

“Thank you to our incredibly hard-working staff who brought this vision to life and to the community who have supported this program before and during these unprecedented times. Your support is priceless to the players and we are extremely thankful to you all.”
