GRR: Eagle Men
The USA v New Zealand test match looks set to be a massive financial windfall for USA Rugby.
tickets sales have topped 40,000 and are expected to go above 50,000 before kickoff November 1 at Soldier Field in Chicago. This game was a bit of a risk for USA Rugby, but it appears, at present, to have paid off with easily the biggest paying crowd at an American rugby event.
Mike Friday is going to be announced officially as the new USA Men's 7s Head Coach next week, according to reports by ESPNScrum and The Rugby Paper.
USA Rugby has announced the players to attend it Men’s Eagles High Performance Sevens camp at the Olympic Training Center July 18-20.
USA Rugby announced Sunday that former Kenya 7s assistant Chris Brown has joined the USA 7s team at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif.
Brown will be an assistant coach of the USA men's 7s team. During his tenure with Kenya, he helped the team to its best ever finish in the IRB Sevens World Series.
Speculation that Mike Friday would be the new USA Men's 7s team coach have been well and truly scuppered with the announcement that Friday has taken the job of Director of Rugby for London Scottish.
