GRR: Eagle Men
USA Rugby Announcement CHICAGO – USA Rugby CEO Nigel Melville announced today that the USA Rugby Eagles will make their return to Soldier Field against the Australian Wallabies in a Saturday, September 5 test match, presented by Astellas. The country v. country match will be the final test for both organizations prior to their to departure for the Rugby World Cup in England.
The 7s Eagles finished 4th in Glasgow and now look ahead to finishing things off in London with South Africa, Portugal, and France on their slate, but while 4th is nice, how they got there doesn't sit well with their coach.
USA Rugby and the Australian Rugby Union will be holding a press conference Tuesday, May 12 at Soldier Field in Chicago.
USA star 7s player Zack Test has an ankle injury of some sort, and his fitness for next weekend's London 7s is in question.
The USA Men’s 7s team finished 4th at the Glasgow 7s, working their way through an up-and-down second day, and in fact an up-and-down weekend to ultimately secure one of their best finishes in a tournament in their history.
