GRR: USA Men 7s
The USA Men’s Sevens team took 4th at the Vancouver SVNS after another tournament in which they showed flashes of greatness and then fell away.The Eagles were torched by three quick tries in their opening pool game, against France, to start their weekend. After the 24-12 loss, the Eagles rode got a bit of magic from Perry Baker.
After getting turfed out of the Perth SVNS quarterfinals the USA Men's 7s team capped off their weekend with a win over Spain to take 7th.
The HSBC SVNS series can give and it can take away.
For the USA Men's team they rolled into the quarterfinals having gone 3-0 in Pool Play, only to be summarily turfed out by a team they had already beaten.
It took some old-school heroics from the old man and some from the younger guys too but the USA it 2-0 in Perth after Day One.
They defeated Australia and Ireland and are in excellent position to win their pool.
The Perth stop for the SVNS World Series will kick off on Australia day on the shores of the Indian Ocean and the USA teams will have their work cut out for them.
