GRR: National Teams
USA Rugby Announcement, Boulder, Colo. – USA Rugby announced Thursday the dates and locations for the two World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup double-header match days to be held in the United States in 2015.
Danny Barrett may be figuring it out.
The United States 7s forward put in a good weekend’s work in Las Vegas, and with his physical, sometimes fractious play, and wild hair, he has put some in mind of Todd Clever when Clever was the enforcer on the 7s team.
Being brought down to Earth is no fun.
Saturday night was a time of some small measure of euphoria for USA fans, and the players at the USA 7s. The Eagles were in the Cup Semis, and they could win the tournament.
Well it won't be the Cup Final for the USA as the Eagles lost 26-12 to New Zealand, showing a little bit of the nerves they have displayed in the past when playing in front of their home fans.
The USA plays New Zealand at 12:54 PM PT today in the USA 7s Cup Semifinals. Win or lose they will be in one of the two final games of the weekend - live on NBC.
The Eagles are in the Cup semifinals for the first time since the 2010 Australia 7s in Adelaide (when they made the final). They are in the USA 7s semis for the first time since 2008.
