GRR: National Teams
(USA Rugby Release) - USA Rugby Boys High School All-Americans Head Coach Salty Thompson has selected an assembly squad of 16 young rugby players for this week's Las Vegas Invitational in Nevada.
While we’ve all been looking intently at the USA 15s team, the USA Men’s 7s team has probably been welcoming the lack of scrutiny going into Las Vegas.
Brazil defeated the USA 24-23 in Sao Paulo in the Americas Rugby Championship, giving the Brazilians their first win in the competition, and dealing a devastating blow to the USA’s chances of hoisting the trophy.
Rarely does the USA Men’s National 15s team go into a game where we expect them to win.
Even more rare is when we expect them to win when had the expected starters aren’t there. And even, even more rare to have that feeling when pretty much the entire team is either a new cap, or has one or two caps to his name.
SÃO PAULO, Brazil (USA Rugby Release) – At least two more Men's Eagles debuts will be made Saturday, Feb. 27, when the current Americas Rugby Championship leaders take on Brazil at Arena Barueri.
