GRR: USA Women 7s
It was a rough Day Two for the USA teams in Perth.
The USA women lost twice, once to a very much in-form Canada to wrap up pool play 21-7, and then 19-7 to France.

Round 2 for the USA women is about momentum.
The entire program, of course, has momentum, and not just because Ilona Maher did so well on Dancing with the Stars.
