Note of June 2013: I didn't take this team because I was going to New Zealand as video analyst to the US National Sevens team.
Chris Ryan & Mike May (who also played) took the team, accompanied by Diego Flores, a Wilmington player who is originally from Paraguay and the home team.  I'm told that the 100 plus humid weather was a killer to a team coming from mid-winter. I do have the roster and results. The tournament was in Asunción.
