Head Coach Zack Test and staff have confirmed the 12-man roster for the opening leg of the HSBC SVNS 2 series kicking off in Nairobi, Kenya February 14-15th.

Following an extended preseason focused on building consistency and clarity, the USA Men’s Eagles Sevens open the 2026 season with their sights set on a top-four finish and a return to the World Championship tier. 

The 12 man squad sees a roster of familiar faces fresh off the back of the team’s recent trip to Fiji’s Coral Coast 7s tournament, challenging themselves against top International talent while trialing set play and solidifying cohesion on the pitch. 

“Fiji gave us real clarity.” Test commented, “When we get our details right, we’re lethal on both sides of the ball; that part is not in question. What the trip reinforced is that our success comes down to consistency: moment to moment, decision to decision, and game to game. When our discipline, work ethic, and standards show up repeatedly, we control matches. Fiji wasn’t about results for us,  it was about understanding exactly what it takes to perform at a world-class level every time.”

“Our objective this season is to perform in a way that earns us the right to return to SVNS 1. That means living our standards every day: discipline, work ethic, and consistency and turning our process into performance. When we get our details right, we’re lethal on both sides of the ball. Our focus isn’t chasing outcomes; it’s building repeatable performances that show up moment to moment and game to game. If we do that in Kenya, the results will take care of themselves.”

Captain Stephen Tomasin will lead the side into their opening match against Belgium before taking on Uruguay, Canada, Germany before their final match up against hosts Kenya,
