GRR: Eagle Women
The USA Women's 7s team is set to face off in the final event of the Women's World Rugby Sevens Series, and there are changes afoot.
It was a difficult day for the USA Women’s National 7s team in Langford, BC, but in the end they got what they wanted.
The Eagles started off poorly, losing to a Spain team they really should beat handily - an early 7-0 lead was undone by two Spanish tries - the second and game-winner from a fumbled lineout on the USA 5-meter. Spain won 10-7.
