CALGARY, Alberta (USA Rugby) – Saturday kicks off Women’s Rugby World Cup 2017 preparations for the Women’s Eagles as Pete Steinberg’s team begins its two-year journey with a three-match Women’s Rugby Super series against arguably the strongest competition in international women’s rugby.
First up for the Eagles is World Cup Champion England.
USA Women's 7s captain Kelly Griffin was our pick for MVP of the NACRA 7s. Griffin was the leader of a dominant team, cleaned up all the little problems - missed passes, balls scooting out of the rucks, and was a physical presence despite being not especially large.
What qualification to the 2016 Olympics means American rugby is hard to overstate - it means, well not everything, but close.
First of all, all of USA Rugby’s plans for the two 7s teams were all through 6:20pm ET on June 14. They had no plans after that, because everything, funding most of all, hinged on the Eagles booking a spot in Rio.
