A 12-man squad was named by the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) 
to participate in the Cathay Pacific / HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2012 which will be staged from March 23-25.

The reserves are: Avery Corbin, Dwayne Schroeder, Peabo Hamilton, Blaize Bayley and Rondell Hutson.
The team which recently returned from a warm-up tournament in Las Vegas, USA will be representing the NACRA region at the high level tournament that will have in attendance the best teams in the Sevens format.
Meanwhile, overseas-based players Staglon and Mayers did not arrive as scheduled and will now do so sometime during the week.
