LAFAYETTE, Colo.(USA Rugby Release with edits) – USA Rugby Men’s Sevens Head Coach Mike Friday has selected the 12 athletes and his seven staff to represent Team USA in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The diverse roster includes athletes from across the country, international rugby stars and an NFL Super Bowl Champion.
In show #169 of our RuggaMatrix America Podcast, Alex, Bruce, and Pat are back together!
The guys look at how June went for the Eagle men, and that little piece of news about USA Rugby's new CEO.
Is Dan Payne a good pick? Does Bruce have specific ideas about what his job should be? Check it out.
The USA Men's 7s team for Rio will be announced officially on Sunday, and it's been a tough road to pick that group of 12 players.
For many fans, there are likely to be some no-brainer - Perry Baker was on the World Series Dream Team; Madison Hughes is the captain; Danny Barrett is a special breed of monster the USA needs.
In just over 30 days the USA Men’s 7s team will take the field in the Olympics for the first time in 92 years, and we still don’t know who will be on the team.
