Paquin and Kirshe named in Langford Dream Team

Two Americas players were named in the official HSBC Dream Team for the Langford Sevens. Bronze-winning USA contributed Kristi Kirshe, who earned her first nomination in just her third career HSBC event. Her hard-running style has seen her rocket into starting contention for the Women’s Eagles.

Champions New Zealand provided two players – Ruby Tui and Kelly Brazier, while Australia provide three. Olympic stars Charlotte Caslick, Emma Tonegato, and Ellia Green.
