The Men’s Junior All American 7s team is wrapping up camp today under the eye of coach Paul Holmes.
Holmes has been coaching in Ohio for years, working with the Tiger Rugby program. An accomplished player in his own right, he has been elevated to the MJAA 7s position, working with program director and 15s Head Coach Scott Lawrence.
USA star Scott LaValla has been ruled out of the Rugby World Cup after apparently fracturing his elbow in training.
He has been replaced by Seattle Saracens loose forward Matt Trouville.
Mike Tolkin still has a few selection headaches to deal with as his team prepares for Australia at Soldier Field.
What I like about Sunday’s game against Harlequins wasn’t that the USA lost, but that they played a team that … shall we say … pushes the boundaries.
