GRR: No name
With a number of the Belmont Shore players who led the team to a U18 Open win in the 2023 NAI 7s, this year's bracket is wide open.
(San Diego) — Brian Vizard, the president and chief executive officer of the US Rugby Foundation, has retired effective July 20, 2024, after more than 20 years leading the non-profit focused on growing grassroots and youth rugby in the United States.
Vizard helped the USRF solidify its finances and raise millions to support the development of rugby across the US.
The Olympic 7s rugby competition kicks off Wednesday with the men's pools on the pitch.
Rugby and soccer both start before Friday's Opening Ceremonies in order to squeeze everything in. This is potentially a good thing for the rugby competition because it's the only thing going on, so mainstream coverage (NBC/Peacock in the USA) will spend a lot of time on it.
The NAI 7s Girls U18 Elite bracket is not big, but it is very competitive.
Six teams are in the bracket so the entire competition will be a round-robin with a final at the end of it. Included are two teams that met each other in the Girls HS Club National Championship final—Belmont Shore and Majestics.
The Eagle Impact Rugby Academy girls U18s were beaten by Munster girls on their opening game of their Ireland tour.
Munster ran out to a 19-0 lead in the first half but after the slow start the EIRA girls matched Munster in the second half 5-5.
