GRR: No name
The LA 2028 Olympic Games have announced the dates for the different competitions.
Rugby 7s will be held July 12-18. The first tournament will be held at Dignity Health Sports Park July 12 and 13 for pool play, and then July 15 for the final matches, when the medals will be awarded.
Well we have to apologize for this being so late in the summer.
We delayed our final girls rankings to chase down some key results, and then other things landed on us, we at GRR were on the road most of the past four weeks, and this type of thing needs your rankers to have time to sit down and study it all carefully.
This weekend we finish off the early summer test matches for the USA; they reconvene for August and the Pacific Nations Cup which doubles as 2027 Rugby World Cup Qualifiers.
So, as we look back at the 36-17 defeat of Belgium and the 31-20 loss to Spain, and ahead to this weekend's clash with England, there is always the specter of the Qualifiers to come.
The US Rugby Foundation is partnering with the US Soccer Foundation to unveil a coach mentoring program.
The US Soccer Foundation already operates a program to train coaches to serve as mentors for other coaches. This isn't about teaching the Xs and Os of any sport, and more about how to help and interact with young athletes.
Before the highly anticipated USA vs. Spain clashed at American Legion Stadium in Charlotte, NC this past Saturday, an inaugural East vs. West Coast rugby showdown set the stage with fast-paced action, rising stars, and true cross-country spirit.
