GRR: National Teams
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.
The USA women’s 7s team has a chance to sneak up on a few opponents in the Olympics.
Salt Lake City, Utah — Andrea Burk paced Canada with 18 points and helped spark a torrid second half as the Canadian women ran away from the USA 33-5 Tuesday in the Women's Super Series.
It’s reasonable to think that the USA Women’s 15s team had some positives out of their July 1 loss to France.
The French were more seasoned, and had won the Six Nations, and so maybe 19-13 wasn’t so bad after all. Head Coach Pete Steinberg, however, reacted a little differently.
