GRR: Eagle Men
It's hard to decide what USA 7s team to evaluate after Hong Kong; was it the team that went 3-0 in pool play, and the team that dominated Wales in the Plate Semis? Or was it the team that just gifted South Africa 28 points in the quarterfinals, and was shut out by England in the Plate Final?
USA Coach Mike Friday said he and his team had mixed emotions about the tournament.
USA Men's 7s Coach Mike Friday confirmed with Goff Rugby Report that Carlin Isles remains injured and in fact the speedy USA winger has returned back to the USA for treatment.
Nate Ebner remains with the Eagles squad, and it's likely we will see him on the field for the first time when the USA plays in the Singapore 7s this weekend.
The USA Men's 7s team ended Hong Kong losing the Plate Final to England in what was an up-and-down Sunday for the Eagles.
The USA Men's 7s team finished Pool Play 3-0 Saturday in Hong Kong after beating Argentina and, at the end of the day, Australia.
The USA Men’s 7s team put together as good a eight-minute period of rugby as you would want to see in their opening game of Day Two in Hong Kong.
And the eight minutes were even more important because thanks to the first six, they were down 14-0.
