GRR: National Teams
Canada beat France 29-10 and England beat the USA 38-13 to finish off the women's Super Series Saturday in Salt Lake City, Utah.
USA Rugby HS All American Head Coach Salty Thompson has named his HSAA West team to travel to British Columbia to play the BC U19s.
This is a different group from the squad that toured Ontario last week. Thompson drew players from the Western regional all-star tournaments for this trip, and added in Sim Mander, a HSAA veteran who attends school in England.
USA WNT 15s Coach Pete Steinberg has named his lineup to face England for the final weekend of the Super Series.
This will quite possibly be a very close game, as England lost big to Canada and edged France, while the USA lost nit quite as big to Canada and lost close to France.
In just over 30 days the USA Men’s 7s team will take the field in the Olympics for the first time in 92 years, and we still don’t know who will be on the team.
In an intriguing and in-depth interview for RuggaMatrix America, USA Men's 7s Coach Mike Friday lays it all out for us.
Friday discusses what happens when your players don't like the food at a tournament. He talks about preparing for multi-sports events. He talks about the pressure (or not) to pick certain players, and the decisions he has to make.
