Scouting, Funding, and the USA U18 Boys 7s Team
The USA U18 7s team slated to go to the Global School 7s in New Zealand December 15-17.
The 13 players making the trip to New Zealand were selected out of a camp of 33 held at Chula Vista. But it wasn't just that camp.
(USA Rugby Release)—USA Rugby is sending a boys U18 team to the World School 7s in New Zealand in December.
This team is going to be selected out of the players invited to a camp at the Elite Athlete Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif.
USA Rugby will be sending a U18 girls team to the World School 7s in Auckland, New Zealand December 15-17.
That team has been selected.
The USA Women's U23 team were beaten quite convincingly in their second game with Canada's U23s and that result is a bit of a wakeup call.
While GRR only a week ago touted this two-game series as a coming-out party for a talented group of young USA players, it turned out more to be a celebration for Canada. The USA, it seems, has work to do.
