The USA Men’s 7s team put together as good a eight-minute period of rugby as you would want to see in their opening game of Day Two in Hong Kong.
And the eight minutes were even more important because thanks to the first six, they were down 14-0.
The USA Women’s National 7s team did what few expected them to do Friday at the Atlanta 7s, going 3-0 to win the pool, and that included a 12-5 defeat of New Zealand.
The USA U20 team that is off to Harare, Zimbabwe is little changed from the one that defeated Canada in January to qualify, and Head Coach JD Stephenson is fine with that.
The Junior All Americans did, after all, beat the Canadians, and Canada finished 2nd in the tournament in 2015, and so the simple act of qualifying indicates that the USA team has a good shot at doing well.
ST. CHARLES, Mo. (USA Rugby Release) – USA Rugby's AIG Men’s Junior All-American Head Coach JD Stephenson has selected a travel squad of 26 athletes for the upcoming World Rugby U20 Trophy in Zimbabwe.
The USA Men's 7s team did as expected and won their opening game in the Hong Kong 7s.
