LA 7s & LAI
Eagle Impact Rugby Academy will likely be sending three teams to the LA Invitational February 28-29, said Head Coach Salty Thompson.
The select-side program will enter two teams into the U18 Boys 7s brackets, EIRA Red and EIRA Blue, and a U16 team, as well.
When Mickey Patterson was taking Eagle Mountain Rugby to a select-side 7s tournament for high-schoolers, he saw that three of his strongest players were going to miss it because they were playing with a major select-side in a higher bracket; Patterson looked around, concluded he had a pretty good group of athletes, and figured "maybe I can have an elite select-side team too."
The LA 7s higher-level seats are going very quickly, and it's actually not a surprise given that the prices are much more attractive than they were when the event was held in Las Vegas.

The US Rugby Foundation is holding its 13th Annual US Rugby Foundation Scrumble Charity Golf Tournament the Friday of the LA Sevens tournament weekend.
A fun and important day on the USRF calendar, the Scrumble brings rugby lovers together on the Friday before the big tournament to play some golf and help raise funds for Foundation projects and programs.
The Cape Town 7s worked the same as the Dubai 7s and shortened some of the consolation brackets in order to fit both the men and the women in one field.
