GRR: National Teams
Will Holder’s two-try performance in the 3rd/4th game win over New Zealand may not necessarily be the stuff of legend, but it was important.
The West Point grad has struggled to secure a spot in either USA national teams despite the odd cap, and his fans were happy to see him get a start, and then play well.
USA flanker Scott LaValla has confirmed that he is retiring from international and professional rugby.
The USA Men’s National 15s team needs a new coach, and word is that USA Rugby is getting close to making its choice.
While we’ve heard plenty of rumors as to who has applied, we’ll leave all of that up to the decision-makers. We do know that Mike Tolkin re-applied for the job.
The USA opens up the Cape Town 7s Saturday with the first game of the entire event, playing Wales.
As always, it’s an important game in an important tournament, but since the USA is coming into Cape Town ranked 3rd in the World Series, maybe, for once, they’re not chasing the game.
It always seems like Kevin Swiryn has to work a bit harder to get where he’s going.
It might be because of bad luck, or willful ignorance on the part of coaches, or just the way things are, but Swiryn has had some obstacles to overcome.
