GRR: 7s
A week later and things aren't all that different for the USA Men's 7s team.
The Eagles played the same three teams in the Vancouver 7s that they played at the LA Sevens. They beat the same two opponents—Samoa and Scotland—and lost to the same opponent—Australia.
USA Men's Sevens Head Coach Mike Friday has made a few changes as the team moves from finishing th at the LA Sevens to the Canada Sevens in Vancouver, BC.
With 200 teams at the LA Invitational the LA Sevens weekend, the action was pretty furious throughout.
Here are some notes:
The Boys Elite was pretty tight at the top. With teams in pools of five, but only playing three pool games, EIRA Navy, EIRA Red, and Maui were al 3-0. Atlantis was a close 2-1, losing a tight game with EIRA.
The Carson Lady Colts made it three Girls Southern California 7s championships in a row last weekend, and that success is a harbinger of how the game is evolving.
This program continues to produce, both as the Carson Lady Colts and also as the South Bay Spartans in high-level sevens tournaments.
We all know that the college 7s spring is a bit in flux, but it's still the central competitive form for many teams, especially in the Northeast and Midwest.
