GRR: Eagle Men
It's Bronze for the USA Men's Rugby Team as the Eagles brushed off a heartbreaking loss to Canada in the semis and defeated Uruguay 40-12 in the 3rd/4th game in Toronto Sunday.
The USA and Argentina lead their pools in the Men’s Rugby 7s bracket of the Pan-Am Games in Toronto, Ontario.
Having coached the USA Men’s 7s team to a place in the 2016 Olympics, and to their first-ever World Series tournament victory in London, Head Coach Mike Friday can cross a couple off his list of goals - now there’s another list entry to worry about.
The Pan-Am Games Opening Ceremonies start Friday night, and while the USA Men’s 7s team won’t be in attendance because they play the next day, being in the athletes village and part of a multi-sport event is still an exciting thing.
The Eagles will get together soon to prepare for the Pacific Nations Cup, hopefully clothed and perhaps some of the big changes we might see will be in the numbers 4 through 8.
