The 2025 HSBC SVNS Awards have unveiled the prestigious SVNS Men’s Dream Team of the Year, honoring seven standout performers who lit up the global rugby sevens stage this season.
Headlining the star-studded lineup are Argentina’s dynamic duo Luciano González and Marcos Moneta, who were instrumental in Los Pumas Sevens’ strong campaign this year.
The two helped the side defend the World SVNS Series League and featured in the final of the World SVNS Championship.
Joining them is Harry Glover of Great Britain. Spain’s rising influence in world sevens was marked by the inclusion of Manu Moreno and Pol Pla, both of whom delivered impressive results.
