GRR: 7s
While the qualification to the 2016 Rio Olympics was expected for the USA women, it wasn’t such a done deal for the USA men.
The men’s team had to face up against Canada in the final, and everyone knew that it would be a tense game.
The USA and Canada surprised no one with their dominant performances in the Men’s NACRA 7s Championships on Day One.
So here’s the latest from the NACRA 7s Men’s competition.
It was back in September (or close to it) that I said on a RuggaMatrix America podcast that the USA Men’s 7s team would not qualify for the Olympics.
Once the qualification tournament for the 2016 Olympics is done, top 7s teams in North America will face off with top 7s teams in South America in the 2015 Pan-Am Games in Toronto.
The Men’s Rugby 7s event at the Pan-Am Games returns for the second time, while the women get rugby for the first time.
