GRR: LA Invitational
The LA Sevens Tournament is making on adjustments to how fans can enjoy the event.
One of the requests from fans at the 2020 LA 7s was for in-out privileges and the tournament is going to be able to accommodate that with some limitations.
With news that tickets are now on sale for the LA 7s, we now can give you details on the LA Invitational, which is back for 2022 as well.
The LA 7s will be held Mach 5 and 6, with the LAI held March 4 and 5.
The University of Alabama surprised many, perhaps even themselves, in winning the LA Invitational men's college bracket Saturday.
The final, played in Dignity Health Sports Park in front of the day's LA Sevens crowd, was an exciting affair, with Alabama coming back from a 12-0 deficit to win 19-12 over New Mexico Highlands University.
Eagle Impact Rugby Academy won the LA Invitational Boys Elite 7s, and also took home the Boys U16 title in competition at the LA Sevens weekend.
EIRA ran out two squads for the Boys Elite, a Red team and a Navy team. However, late injuries took a toll on the roster, and Head Coach Salty Thompson took 20 players to the tournament. More on that in a moment.
With 200 teams at the LA Invitational the LA Sevens weekend, the action was pretty furious throughout.
Here are some notes:
The Boys Elite was pretty tight at the top. With teams in pools of five, but only playing three pool games, EIRA Navy, EIRA Red, and Maui were al 3-0. Atlantis was a close 2-1, losing a tight game with EIRA.
