GRR: 7s
It's been a successful weekend so far in Dubai for the North American teams in the Boys International U19 bracket.
The North American Barbarians defeated the Peregrines 26-17 and then lost a close one 19-15 to the Westville Gryphons on Thursday. Still, that set them up well for a shot at the quarterfinals, with the final pool game on Friday.
After a successful sweep of the Maryland Exiles Halloween Sevens, DC Elite returned again to play in the MedStar Great Falls Rugby Sevens Tournament.
The New York 7s will be live-streamed on www.florugby.com this weekend.

The event features about 140 teams, including brackets for HS Premier Boys and HS Premier Girls which are as strong as almost any tournament in North America.
Some high school 7s will be played during the Liberty Challenge matches Saturday at Fairfield University.
A team from New York City, and a team from Pelham HS, as well as a team from Connecticut, will participate.
Like the college games, these games will be live-streamed on FloRugby.
