The Women’s DII bracket in the USA Rugby College 7s Championships is the only tournament to start on Saturday, as everyone else starts on Friday. It makes sense, really, as these teams might be challenged in terms of depth and recovery, and as a result, one less day might help.
Well this is a very good, and very deep, Men's DII College 7s Championships field.
Sixteen teams are in action, adding to the 24 in the Men's DI, it makes 40 teams in men's rugby alone. Not bad. Here is how we see the pools.
This is perhaps the most exciting women's DI college 7s field ever, with 11 teams, all of which - yes, every single one - have the ability to win it all.
There is not a single easy game in the tournament, and as such every game will need to be played to the utmost.
Well we’re now into the final two weekends of the College 7s season. We’re going to preview all four brackets at the USA Rugby College 7s Nationals, and give you some ideas on who we think will win.
First off, the Men’s DI:
Pool ACentral Washington
Kennesaw State
New England College
South Carolina
The Goff Rugby Report rankings are generally pretty accurate, but sometimes they don’t hold true on major matchups.
Why? Often that’s because a team that had a couple of setbacks early in the season and those losses are still on the team’s record, but now, with injured players back or the team simply improving, they might be a better opponent.
