GRR: Eagle Men
This is an opinion column, and basically all pure speculation. As reported on Goff Rugby Report, the members of the USA Men’s 15s team in assembly know who will be starting and who will be on the bench this weekend against Italy.
USA Men’s National Team Head Coach John Mitchell made a very direct appeal to his players this spring - get fitter.
TV's Phil Keoghan hosted a CBS 60 Minutes Sports look at the USA 7s team (mostly the men but a mention of the women, too), and their Olympic dream.
The feature includes interviews with Zack Test, Madison Hughes, Carlin Isles, and Nate Ebner, among others.

The USA Men’s National Team has less than two weeks now before the two-game summer series kicks off.
Head Coach John Mitchell has already made his statement - repeatedly - regarding fitness. Such as:
Not in the USA squad for June.
These are players who were in the Rugby World Cup squad in 2015 or the Americas Rugby Championship squad earlier this year, but are not in the expanded roster for June.
