GRR: USA Women 7s
The new-look USA women's 7s team took 5th in Dubai and finished 3-2, losing twice to France but overall showing a ton of potential.
After winning their pool but losing to France 14-5 on Day One, the Eagles faced France again in the quarterfinals on Day Two. They lost again, but worse, 38-12.
USA vs FranceThe first half against France was a bit of a disaster.
It was a good Day One for the USA women's 7s team in Dubai, as the Eagles came away as winners of their pool with a 2-1 day.

A new era begins for the USA women’s 7s team tonight as they take on Great Britain, Spain, and France between midnight and 750AM ET.
