The USA 7s team has named a strong line up for the London 7s with the inclusion of speedster and two time Player Of The Year, Perry Baker.

This will definitely boost their team as they will be facing Fiji in the semifinal if the two top their pools.

Baker was ruled out after the Hamilton 7s and missed out on 5 tournaments.

Other players that have been named in the team include, Carlin Isles, Danny Barrett, Ben Pinkelman, Madison Hughes, Matai Leuta, Brett Thompson, Kevon Williams, Folau Niua, Marcus Tupuola, Stephen Tomasin,, Martin Iosefo, Joe Schroeder and Maceo Brown.

USA is pooled with Australia, Wales and Spain.

USA is leading the points table with 145 points, Fiji is second with 143 points and New Zealand is in third place with 130 points.

Fiji will need to win the last two tournaments to claim the series title.

Fiji will meet Kenya in their first pool match of the London 7s at 9.36pm Saturday, they will take on France at 12.42am Sunday and will play their last pool match against Samoa at 3.48am Sunday.

The Cup quarterfinals will start at 9.58pm Sunday, Cup semifinals will start at 1.48am Monday and the Cup final will be played at 4.57am Monday.

Barring any upsets, the Fiji is likely to meet England or Scotland in the quarter final, they are likely to take on USA or Argentina in the semifinal, or New Zealand or South Africa in the final.
