GRR: National Teams
When USA MNT Coach John Mitchell gave the jerseys out to the USA U20s on Feb. 12, he had a few words of encouragement and praise for the team, and one thing stuck in a few heads:
Statistics show that 10% of the current U20 team will go on to play in the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Center Lorenzo Thomas’s ears perked up at that.
The USA Men's 7s team is back in camp preparing for the next two rounds of the Sevens World Series, March 4-5-6 in Las Vegas and March 12-13 in Vancouver, BC.
The USA Women’s 7s team finished Day Two of the Brazil 7s in Sao Paulo with a 1-2 record, and in those two losses, scored zero points and allowed 62.
The USA put Chile to the sword in Saturday's Americas Rugby Championship clash in Fort Lauderdale, running in ten tries to beat the Condors 64-0.
The USA Women’s National 7s team is in to the Cup Quarterfinals in Sao Paulo after a 2-1 day of pool play in Brazil.
The Eagles looked out of sorts against New Zealand in their opener, getting just the one try from Jillion Potter in a 35-5 loss. In their second game, the Americans showed flashes of what they can do, but also made little errors.
