GRR: National Teams
The Rugby World Cup 7s kicks off for the USA Women's National Team on Friday in Cape Town.
Unlike the men's team, which had a short turnaround following the LA Sevens August 27-28, the women have had some time to prepare for what will be a very unforgiving tournament. That preparation included a series of games at Chula Vista with Canada and Brazil.
Only a week after the 2021-22 Sevens World Series wrapped up the Rugby World Cup 7s is set for Cape Town this coming Friday.
England defeated the USA 52-14 in the final warmup match for the Eagles in advance of the Women's Rugby World Cup.
The 2022 LA Sevens produced perhaps the best lineup of quarterfinalists any promoter of a rugby event could want.
A second try from USA star prop Hope Rogers turned a 17-16 deficit into a 21-17 lead for the USA over Scotland, and the Eagles held on to beat the Scots in Edinburgh Saturday.
