GRR: Americas Rugby Championship
Who is your MVP for the Americas Rugby Championship?
While we could nominate someone not from the USA, we won't, because this is a USA-based news outlet, and the USA won the tournament, anyway. We've made some nominations, and now want you to vote.
Here are the final ARC Standings and Box Scores for the 2017 season.
Round 5: Eagles Tie Argentina, Win ARC
Round 4: Eagles Fly Past Condors
The USA Men’s 15s team seemed to have their game against the Argentina XV in hand, and then they didn’t.
Two yellow cards and two penalty tries turned a 15-3 lead into a 17-15 deficit … a deficit that ballooned to 27-15 before the Argentineans were done.
In something of a shock result, the USA has won the Americas Rugby Championship, taking the team's first major 15s international tournament win since the 1924 Olympics.
A little over a year ago a very green USA team tied a pretty young Argentina XV 35-35 in the opening round of the new-look Americas Rugby Championship.
