Following an intense two days at a camp kindly hosted by New Orleans Rugby Club, the following squad was selected for the NACRA Tournament game versus Mexico in Mexico City on April 9.

This will be the first appearance of a U.S. side in this tournament with the South playing in a northern division that includes the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, the Bahamas, and Bermuda.

The winner of the U.S. v. Mexico game plays the winner of the Cayman v. Jamaica game. If Cayman wins, the match will take place in the U.S. If Jamaica wins, the South squad will travel to Jamaica.

The squad left for Mexico on April 7, from Charlotte, and returned April 10. Five members of the New Orleans Rugby Football Club made the select side.
