GRR: Eagle Women
The quarterfinals for the inaugural Olympic Games women's rugby sevens competition have been confirmed after the final pool games in Sunday's morning session at the Deodoro Stadium.
Here are the standings after Day One at the Women's Rugby competition in the Olympic Games in Rio.
Australia dominated in Pool A, New Zealand in Pool B, and Canada and Great Britain in Pool C. Those four teams have given up a total of eight points.
France is also 2-0, but a little less dominant than New Zealand.
The USA Women’s 7s team did what they needed to do after the initial disappointment of losing to Fiji, beating Colombia 48-0 to move to 1-1 and drastically improve their points difference in the Women’s Rugby bracket at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
The USA women lost 12-7 in the opening game of the Rio Olympics Women’s Rugby 7s event.
It was an exciting and historic day for the sport as rugby returned to the Olympic playing fields, but the USA team didn’t execute the way they wanted to, or can.
The game started with a perfect kickoff from Alev Kelter, with Kathryn Johnson going up for the ball to knock it back.
The USA rugby players got to walk on with the rest of the Team USA contingent at the Rio 2016 Opening Ceremony.
Here's a GIF of the USA entering the stadium. You can see Nate Ebner, Chris Wyles, and Danny Barrett (and maybe a few more).
