Can Eagles 7s Make a Move?
Can the Eagles make a move?
Well, they can try, but really the next few World Series tournaments are about holding steady.
The United States sits 5th in the World Series, which is a pretty nice place to be. But they are 17 points out of 4th, and 33 points out of 3rd.
How hard will it be to move up? Well, think of this way:
USA to Host Canada in San Diego for RWC Qualifier
USA Rugby has announced the location for the second of the two-game Men's Rugby World Cup Qualifier against Canada.
The first leg will be played in Canada, and that venue has not been released yet. But the July 1 second leg will be played at Torero Stadium in San Diego, Calif. The Americas 1 seed will be decided based on aggregate score from those two games.
USA to Host Georgia
LAFAYETTE, Colo.(USA Rugby Press Release) – The 12th-ranked national rugby union team of Georgia will visit Kennesaw, Ga., for a June 17 test match against the USA Men's Eagles as part of the Emirates Airline Summer Series.
USA 4th in Vancouver - Column
Day Two out of five competition days covering nine days on the calendar isn't easy for any international 7s team, and the USA did pretty well, considering.
The Eagles ended up 1-2 in Vancouver on Sunday, winning that crucial quarterfinal game to make the semis, but losing the next two to finish fourth.
Eagles 3-0 in Vancouver
The USA Men’s 7s team is 3-0 after Day One at the Canada 7s at BC Place in Vancouver.
Unlike in recent tournaments, when the Eagles would put in ten minutes of strong rugby, and the occasional four minutes of trouble, the USA team was fairly consistent on the turf at BC Place, hammering Japan, defeating their bete noir, France, and then dominating Australia to close out the day.
