GRR: National Teams
The USA women's 7s team is in Rio and getting ready for the most important tournament they will ever play (aside, maybe, from the qualifiers last summer).
Head Coach Richie Walker posted on social media the following:
The USA Rugby Men's Collegiate All Americans are about to set off for Australia and there is one change in the touring roster.
Central Washington star Tanner Barnes has been unable to fully shake a hamstring injury, and he has been replaced by another CWU player in Scott Dean.
Richie Walker’s USA Women’s 7s team has a chance to sneak up on people.
It’s no joke. Despite a poor 2015-16 World Series season, the Eagles have a shot at a medal - if Walker has got the chemistry right, and the selections right, and the plan right, then they can do it.
SEATTLE, Wash. As rugby is thrust into the Olympic spotlight this summer in Rio when it returns to the games for the first time since 1924, Seattle-based sports education and technology Atavus is throwing its full support behind the US Women's and Men's Olympic Rugby teams.
