Contracted 7s Players Final
National Teams - USA Men


It can be a slippery thing to nail down, who is under contract, as it is in flux from time to time. However, below is the current list of contracted Eagles, both men and women.

Mokate and Isles are the newbies for the men, joining this summer.

Isles, previously a professional sprinter, first picked up a rugby ball in June, forgoing the Olympic Trials for track and moving to Aspen to learn the game.

Mokate joins the list of contracted 7s players after spending time in New Zealand playing 15s and earning his first cap for the 15s Eagles against Canada in June. 

The women also made a recent addition, inking Christy Ringgenberg.

Injured for the men are Blaine Scully, who is recovering from a torn Achilles suffered in March, Andrew Durutalo, who recently had knee surgery, and Nu'u Punimata.
