GRR: National Teams
The USA men's 7s team has clinched a spot in the top eight in the Sydney 7s with two dominating performances in the first two games Saturday.
In the opening match for the Eagles, they torched Wales 42-0. In the game, the USA showed all of the aggressive running and smooth passing that they didn't show in Wellington, taking apart a Wales side that's not exactly bad.
The USA Men’s team that faces a relatively inexperienced Argentina XV Saturday at BBVA Compass Stadium is pretty inexperienced, too.
HOUSTON (USA Rugby Release) – The first Men's Eagles starting XV under new head coach John Mitchell has been announced, with nine Rugby World Cup veterans set to complement a slew of talent new to the senior setup Saturday, Feb. 6, against Argentina in the inaugural Americas Rugby Championship.
Houston, Texas – The USA U20 (aka Junior All American) team to face Canada's U20s in Austin, Texas has been named.
Refereeing remains under the microscope for international 7s as officials continues to be inconsistent in their management of games.
This was brought home to the USA team, which saw clear infractions against them not called, and even stuff like not even attempting to retreat 10 meters on a penalty and throwing the ball away not receiving a yellow card.
