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 USA women capped off the Perth SVNS with their second-straight fourth-place finish.
It was an interesting tournament in which the Eagles put in a ton of effort and worked hard to win the collision battle. They fixed their poor passing mid-tournament, which is difficult to do.
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.
Well, the HSBC SNVS series is weird.
The USA women looked very shaky through pool play finishing off with a loss to New Zealand in which their passing left a lot to be desired, and even when they were close to scoring, they’d see the Black Ferns steal the ball and run the length of the field.
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.
