It's a big ask for the USA Men's 7s team to cross nine time zones and rock up at the Madrid 7s, but of course they'll face it with relish in part because they just want to play.
Head Coach Mike Friday said he expects some stiff competition when the USA kicks off on Saturday for the first of two weekends of games.
The USA Men's 7s team Head Coach Mike Friday has picked 16 players to travel for the USA Men’s Sevens National Team’s first international competition of 2021.
Plucked out of almost obscurity into the US national 7s team, Stephen Tomasin may have been a little lucky, but he turned that sliver of good fortune into an impressive career with the Eagles.
Paul Emerick is one of the greatest American outside backs.
Generally playing at outside center, the former University of Northern Iowa All American and later Chicago Lions was a favorite with fans because he never, ever backed down, was brutally honest about his performance good or bad, and was just plain fun to watch.
