USA on show at St Mary’s Sevens

The Tomahawks will be on show prior to this year's three match Australian Tour with a squad announced for the World Sevens Qualifier at St. Mary's, Sydney Australia on January 29. The US Squad will comprise Australian based players who qualify to play for America or play in the AMNRL Club competition.

The squad will be coached by Shane Millard and led by experienced USA Tomahawk Star and Glen Mills Bulls latest recruit, Marcus Vassilakopoulos. Other exciting selections are former Cronulla Sharks star, Stuart Pierce, whose wife is American and holds a greencard, and Ian Mortimer, son of Canterbury legend and Australian Kangaroo Chris Mortimer. Ian holds an American passport and will be a tremendous addition to the US team.

Unfortunately for the Tomahawks Alf Duncan is unavailable and will play for Newtown in the same competition. In an odd turn of events Alf is not available for the Tomahawks, although Darrel Trindall has been made available for the Jets to play for the Australian Aborigines squad.

The winner of the qualifier will move through to the World Sevens at Aussie Stadium on February 1 and 2.
