Canada 7s Pools Announced
The pools for the Sevens World Series tournament in Vancouver, BC March 12-13 have been announced.
The USA is in the Pool of Death with New Zealand, England (who finished tied for last in Las Vegas but are better than that), and always-difficult France.
Here are the pools:
Pool A
Fiji
Kenya
Samoa
Portugal
Eagles Fumble Chance at Final
Fiji defeated the USA 21-14 in the semifinals of the USA 7s in Las Vegas, taking advantage of a series of uncharacteristic USA mistakes.
Utah Wins CRC Qualifier in Las Vegas
The University of Utah has qualified for the CRC 7s after beating Notre Dame College in a close, and somewhat controversial final in the LVI at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Utah made the final by denying the dangerous AIC team any meaningful possession, and the Utes did the same against a fast and well-structured Notre Dame College team.
Eagles 7s to LV Semis
The USA is in to the Cup semifinals after putting together most of the sort of performance they will need going forward.
The Eagles, playing without injured Maka Unufe, got two tries from Martin Iosefo, and a massive game from Danny Barrett to beat Kenya 26-14.
Atlantis Boys Impress at LVI
The Atlantis Boys select side teams enjoyed a very successful Las Vegas Invitational this weekend, both making their respective bracket finals, and winning one.
