Sevens Superstar Set for Top 14 Switch?
- 3019
USA Sevens star Perry Baker has reportedly sent his CV around France in the hopes of making the switch to the 15 aside format of the game.
According to French newspaper, Midi Olympique, the World Sevens player of the year has hinted that he would give the longer format of the game a go when he tweeted this earlier this month.

The report doesn't mention what Top 14 clubs are interested in one the quickest men in rugby but does state that his people are confident that he will receive offers.
His 170 tries on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series make him the USA’s leading all-time try-scorer and the 9th all-time in the history of the sport.
A move from Sevens to 15s could see Perry Baker make a push for a spot in the USA squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.
