CRC - Our Picks
Well, now, there’s this interesting matter of the CRC Men’s 7s invitational.
This year, the tournament, which will run all day Saturday and Sunday, is about as competitive as it has ever been, with even the so-called also-rans having shown themselves to be able to play.
Here’s how we see the pools shaping up:
HSRC Girls Preview
The New Jersey Blaze may have won the last two HS Girls 7s at the HSRC in Chester, Pa., but you've got to wonder if this year will be the year for the three-peat.
HSRC Elite 7s Preview
The Boys Elite bracket in the High School Rugby Championship 7s invitational in Chester, Pa. features some very talented select, regional, and high school sides from around the country.
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.
Saint Mary's Finally Does It
When colleges started playing serious 7s rugby, everyone assumed Saint Mary’s would be good at it; and so the Gaels were, but at the same time, they never won a national title.
They came close - finishing second in 2011 and usually pushing for a spot in the semis or winning the Plate. But Sunday, Saint Mary’s won it all.
