GRR: Olympics
The USA Men’s 7s team in camp in the OTC will be whittled down to a squad of 12 for the NACRA 7s
That 12 won’t be much difference from the 12 that won the London 7s, but there could be a few changes.
Here are our thoughts:
The Amsterdam 7s will end in thrilling fashion, but it won’t be the final to which everyone turns. Australia and Canada, having won their respective Cup semifinals against England and the USA, will compete for the trophy, but both teams have already secured their berths to the Olympics.
Rugby sevens will make its Olympic Games debut on 6 August, 2016 after the Rio 2016 Organizing Committee released the daily competition schedule to mark 500 days to go.
The rugby sevens competitions at the Deodoro Sports Complex will be played over six days between 6-11 August with two sessions per day. The session times will be announced in due course.
