GRR: National Teams
(This is an opinion column by Goff Rugby Report Editor Alex Goff). The end of the Pan-Am Games for the USA was not what they wanted.
Canada and the USA will meet in the Pan Am Games women’s Gold Medal match, as the pair finished atop the six-team field with near-perfect records. Both teams were 4-0 heading into the final pool play game against each other, while Canada had not surrendered a point-against, and the USA had only given up 14.
The USA and Argentina lead their pools in the Men’s Rugby 7s bracket of the Pan-Am Games in Toronto, Ontario.
Canada and the USA lead the standings in the 2015 Pan-Am Games women's rugby tournament as both went 3-0 Saturday.
Both teams were very comfortable winners. Canada shut out all of their opponents. The Eagles fell behind 7-0 against Agrentina before powering in eight tries to win 54-7.
Having coached the USA Men’s 7s team to a place in the 2016 Olympics, and to their first-ever World Series tournament victory in London, Head Coach Mike Friday can cross a couple off his list of goals - now there’s another list entry to worry about.
