GRR: National Teams
Among the 7s teams that could be attending the Halloween 7s in Florida is a Men’s Junior All Americans 7s team under the coaching of Paul Holmes and David Fee.
The first assembly under this new program finished up last week, and Head Coach Holmes said that it’s a beginning, at least.
The USA Men’s National Team is enjoying a short break before officially starting its Rugby World Cup assembly.
The troubles for the USA pack, and especially the lineout, are not as troublesome as fans might be following the Eagles’ 47-10 loss to Australia.
While Scott LaValla is out with a broken elbow, Hayden hasn’t played since July, and Cam Dolan, Al McFarland, and Samu Manoa all left the game with apparent injuries, all save LaValla will be ready to play soon.
Australia defeated the USA 47-10 in front of over 21,000 fans at Soldier Field Saturday night in Chicago, and while it was a fairly convincing win for the Wallabies, it was also a real test match for the USA.
Kickoff 6:35 PM by USA.
Australia tries to run it out of their end but a blitz from Taku Ngwenya forces a knock-on.
