The USA Women’s Eagles have named their roster for the upcoming Olympic warm-up event in Dubai. Two tournaments will take place at ‘The Sevens’ with the first on April 2-3 and the second the following weekend April 8-9.
A streamlined group of 12 have been named in the senior group as Brown narrows his selection preferences ahead of Tokyo. Included are two players yet to make their debuts on the World Sevens Series – forward Sui A’au and wing Ariana Ramsey.
Three extras have been named in a traveling reserve. Cheta Emba is the most experienced of the three. Speedster Nia Toliver is notably among them after impressing in Madrid last month, with versatile Kasey McCravey the third.
The Eagles will be competing against Brazil, Canada, France, Kenya, and Japan. There will be no live stream for the event with updates provided on social media.
