GRR: Sevens World Series
THE USA men squeaked into the CUp Quarterfinals in Vancouver despite one of the most lopsided losses in their history.
The Eagles, having played poorly in LA, started off the Canada 7s in Vancouver even worse, getting thumped 52-0 by New Zealand. Were the All Blacks 7s on a roll, or were there problems in the USA side?
Some sun and blue skies did wonders for the vibe at Dignity Health Sports Park as the 2023 LA 7s crowned New Zealand as champions.
In the end, the USA finished 13th at the LA 7s.
That's 3-3, but the three losses came at bad times. Whether Day One has been good or not, your first game on Day Two has to be a good one. It wasn't for the Eagles and they lost to Spain.
We detail much of what went wrong in that game here:
Thor the god of thunder stomped his way across the Southern California sky Saturday, showing himself too strong even for the most hardy of rugby fans and the most gritty of rugby players.
The LA Sevens is almost upon us as teams are getting acquainted with the area.
The Adopt-a-Nation program is back again and we have photos of the Japan team visiting Riviera Elementary School. Kids at the schools in the program do projects aobut the country they have adopted, and then host the team for some food and some fun.
