GRR: SVNS
Friday saw three wins for the USA in the two Madrid SVNS tournaments, putting both the men and the women in good position to achieve the goals they have set out.
The goal for the USA women's national 7s team is to get into the top three.
They want to step onto the podium and make a statement in advance of Paris 2024.
It comes down to Madrid for the USA Men's 7s team as they have to finish in the top four of the upcoming playoff tournament in order to return to the 2024-25 SVNS Series.
The USA men’s 7s team dropped out of the Top 8 in the SVNS standings and so instead of playing in the final tournament to win, they will be playing at the kid’s table to see if they can come back to the series in 2024-25.
The USA men's 7s team's up-and-down season is now at a crucial point.
The Eagles get set to play in Singapore with a place in Madrid's eight-team final playoff on the line.
Stay in the Top Eight and you're guaranteed to be back for the 2024-25 season and you're in with a shot to win the championship.
(It's basically a playoff.)
