GRR: 7s
West Shore United will play the Exiles in the Boys HS Club final of the HSRC 7s tournament at PPL Park in Chester, Pa. Sunday.
Some surprises and some expected outcomes in the first day of competition at the USA Sevens CRC in Chester, Pa.
The tournament itself is thankfully back to two days thanks to some fields being built just outside of PPL Park, allowing more games to be played in the morning on Day One, and thus eliminating the need for the much-maligned Friday night games.
In the 149th edition of RuggaMatrix America, Alex, Bruce, and Pat welcome USA Men's 7s Coach Mike Friday to talk about the Eagles' win in London, how they got to that point, and what's next. We call this episode Friday Luck not because the USA was lucky, but because the day Friday is traditionally thought to be unlucky by the superstitious.
OK, so, big breath, time to handicap the CRC.
This year’s competition is the best yet. With the local teams in their own competition in the City 4, organizers have been able to replace Drexel, Penn, Villanova, and LaSalle with the likes of Arkansas State, Air Force, and Clemson. That makes for more code games in pool play, and more potential for surprises.
Friday sees the High School part of the CRC Weekend kick off with the boys HSRC on the fields of Neumann University in Aston Township, Pa.
