Evaluating the Falcons after MDPThe USA Falcons got off to a creditable start in their two-tournament development trip to South America, beating Uruguay and Canada, and losing four to finish 4th.
Mar Del Plata Day 1
The USA Falcons finished Day One at the Mar Del Plata 7s in Argentina with a 1-2 record.
The Americans lost 12-10 to Mar Del Plata in their opener, thanks to a last-second converted try by the hosts.
They then beat Uruguay 15-12, before falling to Argentina 29-12.
Next up, on Sunday, is Canada, which lost all three games on Day 1.
Mar Del Plata 7s Soon
USA Falcons player Derek Lipscomb, who plays with Old Blue and the Northeast Olympic Development Academy, works with the weights while his team prepares for the Mar Del Plata 7s this coming weekend in Argentina.
Bliss Taking His Shot
One of the dark horse players seeking a spot in the USA National Team could well be former USA U20 captain and scrumhalf Tom Bliss.
Falcons Pick MomentousIt sometimes doesn’t take much to make a huge gesture, but I think that the significance of today’s announcement of the USA Falcons team to South America should not be understated. It’s not the lineup of players - that’s all very nice and everything - it’s the coach.
