GRR: 7s
We're getting deeper into the college 7s season, and below we have a list of some of the tournament this year.
We don't pretend that this is an exhaustive list and if you have a tournament we've missed, please let us know here.
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:
The University of Dayton hosted the 2nd Annual Kevin J. Hogan Memorial 7s this past weekend, with Ohio State winning the cup final over Bowling Green.
The North American Invitational 7s tournament has made changes to the 2017 tournament, working with USA Rugby to level the playing field in the open divisions, and to secure both a referee training course and panel refs for tournament.
Patrick Madden was the MVP for the Eagle Impact Rugby Academy U18 team that won the Boys Elite 7s at the Las Vegas Invitational over Taniwha of New Zealand.
A HS All American and now playing for the San Diego Aztec Warriors, Madden is a flyhalf or center who reads the game supremely well, and one who scored a try in the LVI final.
