No medals for the USA Men's 7s team, as they lost to Fiji 24-19 Wednesday morning, and ended pool play 1-2 and just out of quarterfinal contention.
The Men's Collegiate All Americans have been selected to face Brothers RFC Wednesday in Brisbane, QLD.
For more on the upcoming game, see Head Coach Gavin Hickie's comments here.
Here is the lineup:
The Men's Rugby 7s Olympic event has already given us several surprises and raised all sorts of questions for Wednesday's Day 2 action.
First, the scores:
France 31 Australia 14
South Africa 24 Spain 0
Great Britain 31 Kenya 7
Japan 14 New Zealand 12
Argentina 17 USA 14
Australia 26 Spain 12
South Africa 26 France 0
It was a little dicey at the beginning and a little slow in finding momentum, but the USA won their game against Brazil to move to 1-1 in the Men's Rugby 7s competition at the Rio 2016 Olympics Tuesday.
Argentina defeated the USA with a try at the end of the game to open the Men's Rugby 7s Olympics for both teams.
In a game full of controversy and hard hitting, the USA never found its rhythm, and neither of their super-fast guys, Perry Baker or Carlin Isles, got the ball with any kind of space or opportunity to show what they can do.
