GRR: Eagle Women
Job done for the USA women at the Hong Kong 7s, but in a weird way.
In the end, the Eagles had their worst finish of the World Series season, but they did enough to qualify for the 2024 Olympics.
USA Women's 15s Interim Head Coach Rich Ashfield has named his matchday 23 to face Canada in the Pacific Four test match Saturday.
In order to clinch an automatic berth to the 2024 Olympics, the USA women's 7s team will need to end the Hong Kong 7s 20 points ahead of the 5th-place team in the World Series.
The USA defeated Spain 20-14 Saturday in their first game since last year's Women's Rugby World Cup.
Eight players made their USA debuts as this game marks a new era in the program. Interim Head Coach Rich Ashfield said he was working on team cohesion and working the new players into the squad.
The USA Women's 15s team will play Canada in their 2023 Pacific Four Series opener next month.
