The tournament is the third event in the 2009/10 IRB Sevens World Series, which is currently led by New Zealand after their Cup victories in both Dubai and George.
Samoa have recalled Sevens' most capped player Uale Mai to their lineup, while New Zealand pick newcomer Fritz Lee, a player coach Gordon Tietjens has labelled a possible 'star of the future'.
The USA has named its 12-man roster as it gets ready for action in Pool C with England, Kenya and Tonga.
Al Caravelli’s side went 1-4 in both Dubai and George and will want to improve on those marks this weekend, particularly with the USA Sevens just a week away in Las Vegas.
USA lineup:
1 Matt Hawkins
2 Marco Barnard
3 Mark Bokhoven
4 Shalom Suniula
5 Zach Test
6 Mile Pulu
7 Nese Malifa
8 Leonard Peters
9 Kevin Swiryn (Capt)
10 Ata Malifa
11 Nick Edwards
