USA Head Coach Zack Test and his staff have confirmed the 12-man roster for the opening leg of the HSBC SVNS 2 series, set to take place in Nairobi, Kenya on February 14–15.
After an extended preseason centered on building consistency and clarity in performance, the USA Men’s Eagles Sevens begin their 2026 campaign targeting a top-four finish and a return to the World Championship tier.
The selected squad features several familiar faces, many of whom recently competed at Fiji’s Coral Coast 7s tournament. The trip provided the Eagles with an opportunity to test themselves against elite international opposition while fine-tuning their set plays and strengthening on-field cohesion.
“Fiji gave us real clarity,” said Test. “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.”
Test emphasized that the team’s ambitions extend beyond short-term results.
“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 fixture against Belgium. The USA will then face Uruguay, Canada, and Germany before closing out their pool campaign against hosts Kenya at Nyayo National Stadium.
With promotion firmly in their sights, the Eagles arrive in Nairobi determined to turn preparation into performance and begin their climb back to the top tier of the global Sevens circuit.
