Eagle Women 7s Struggle Again
The USA women’s 7s team ended the World Series season as Plate Runners-Up and 2-4 in Clermont-Ferrand.
The Eagles did not achieve what should have been their goals, losing fairly convincingly (twice) to England, losing to Spain, and, in the Plate Final, losing to France.
Youngster Bolsters 7s WNT for Clermont-Ferrand
The USA Women's 7s team is set to face off in the final event of the Women's World Rugby Sevens Series, and there are changes afoot.
USA Rebounds, 3rd in London 7s
The USA 7s team finished 3rd in the London 7s Sunday, wrapping up a really strong finish to what had been a rough run of tournaments.
It was a weird tournament once again at Twickenham, mirroring somewhat how last year came about, where the Eagles had some really rocky performances in Glasgow and then turned around to win in London.
Eagles Make Change for London 7s
USA 7s team Head Coach Mike Friday has made one change to his squad going into the London 7s.
Nate Ebner will drop out of the team and suit up instead for the USA Falcons in Tours, France in a move that is obviously designed to get him more game time. Former West Point All American Ben Leatigaga comes into the USA team.
Friday Wants "Insane Desire"
The USA Men’s 7s team did not play well in Paris, lost in the Bowl semifinals, and slipped from 5th to 6th in the World Series standings.
In fact, given the Eagles’ recent form, they might slip to 7th. This is a far cry from the first seven tournaments of the season, during which they finished in the top eight all seven times, and finished in the top four twice.
