The teams are in town and getting acclimated at the LA 7s, with excitement ramping up around the Rugby Hub and further afield.

Teams are visiting schools around Greater LA today, and also have started training at the Dignity Health Sports Park fields and playing a little cricket (?) on the beach.

South Africa arrived relatively early and were welcomed with open arms.

It is an Irish establishment and a great place to spend the first night in Los Angeles. Fantastic hospitality from true rugby people @AuldDubLBC made us feel very welcome. Now if you could do something about the jet lag please...no just kidding around while trying to sleep! pic.twitter.com/p7n3gD162F

The tournament is signing up some musical acts, including a Kenyan DJ, to meet the musical tastes of everyone. And don't forget you've got to buy your tickets.

While the Lower Reserved seats are sold out, thee are some club seats still available. The club seats include a private bar for the section, and lunch. 

A few curious looks at Redondo beach when the Blitzboks played a game of cricket after arriving in Los Angeles. A great way to stretch the legs after a relative short journey to @LASevensRugby compared to previous years. @CastleFreeSA @FNBSA @ASICS_ZA pic.twitter.com/uzwHkPLqhf
