USA Rugby Press Release
SÃO PAULO – The Women’s Eagles Sevens gained 10 points from São Paulo Sevens Sunday as the sixth-best team with a 14-5 loss to England in the Plate Final at Arena Barueri.
Blair in for Harajly
The USA Men’s 7s team will make one change for the USA 7s in Las Vegas, with Ahmad Harajly switching teams to play for the USA Falcons in the LVI, while Pat Blair joins the full Eagles team.
This isn’t a demotion, USA Head Coach Mike Friday told Goff Rugby Report. Instead, it’s a chance for Harajly to get more game time.
USA Happy with Vegas Pool
The USA men’s 7s team has a very favorable pool for the USA 7s in Las Vegas.
For years the Eagles have had to contend with very difficult pools in their home tournament, but that, in part, has been a function of poor performances in the Wellington 7s the week before.
USA Into Sao Paulo Cup Quarters
The USA Women have life yet, as their 26-7 win over Spain was enough for the last berth to the Sao Paulo 7s Cup quarterfinals. The Eagles (1-2) finished third in Pool A, and with a points differential of -6, beat out fellow third-best Fiji (-17) for a spot in tomorrow's playoffs.
USA Women 0-2 in Brazil
Optimism prevailed when the USA Women 7s team scored during the opening 30 seconds against France, but momentum never realized itself. The teams scored two tries apiece in the second round of the Sao Paulo 7s, but two conversions from Christelle Le Duff gave France the necessary margin of victory, 14-12.
