U16s at NAI 7s Carry Baton of the Future

Alex Goff photo.

Some might say the future of American men's rugby will be in ther two tiers of the NAI 7s U16 boys.

Certainly some of that future is there. Tested in a pretty hot crucible in Salt Lake City, these players find out pretty quickly where their weaknesses are.

This U16 bracket includes yet again a team from Guam, eager to challenge themselves yet again.

There's a really good mix here with national-draw select sides such as Atlantis, Hawkeyes, Rebel, and USA South, but there are also the likes of Mountain Ridge (Utah), Rugby Texas, Desert Warriors, and SacPal Islanders that all have a more local talent base.

That's in Tier 2, where an early SacPal vs Hawkeyes game is one you should circle.

In Tier 1, Atlantis vs Layton Christian early on and the opener of Rebel vs Belmont Shore will light a fire in the morning.

USA South once again has some talent and seems to have figured out the plan give their performance at the National Sevens Youth National Championships. California Grizzlies is a new program and one with, we expect, some ability. Los Al Tribe, Rhino (one of the few Rhino teams here actually) and the always unpredictable San Mateo Wolverines make this a meeting of players from a variety of walks of life, playing styles, and coaching styles.
