GRR: 7s
Five teams went 3-0 in the Boys Open 7s Thursday at the Las Vegas Invitational, with the Arizona Bobcats dominating and taking the #1 seed.
The Bobcats beat Rugby Royals, Loudon, and Medicine Hat, and allowed just one try.
The Bobcats are the official all-star team from Rugby Arizona, and this team was drawn from eight different teams.
The USA Falcons men's team has been named to play in the Las Vegas Invitational Men's Elite 7s.
These are players who have been pushing for selection for the USA Men's 7s team, and several have already been named to the Eagles in previous tournaments. The players were selected to the Falcons after a camp at the OTC.
The USA Falcons Women's Team is set for the Las Vegas Invitational WOmen's Elite 7s, where they will take on Brazil, and Stars Rugby on Thursday, and South Africa Select on Friday in Pool Play.
Penn State star Meya Bizer and former Fallbrook standout Richelle Stephens are part of a team that is very close to the full USA team, but not quite.
AIC looks to be the easy pick for the CRC Qualifier at the Las Vegas Invitational.
You wonder, really, if it will be all that close.
In truth, there are some other teams that could win their way to Philly. Air Force has shown to be handy at 7s, Notre Dame College has some exciting pace. But, aside from two other teams I’ll talk about in a minute, AIC is the favorite.
As often happens in large tournaments, there are some changes in the lineup of some brackets at the Las Vegas Invitational - most notably in the CRC Qualifier.
