Having made predictions on the DI college games last week (minus one or two), it seems only fair I should report the results.
Here's how I did:
With less than 12 months to go until the Mens 15s Rugby World Cup and the prop situation for the USA is not at its best.
So we wanted to know what Mike Friday and Chris Brown would put together as a USA 7s team, and we got hints early on. Now we know.
The hints were that Friday looked for a few more athletes who required some grooming. He looked for height, and rangy runners. One guy he didn’t pick, Garrett Brewer, is still almost the perfect example of the kind of athlete he wanted to look at.
When USA Rugby stopped running a Boys National HS Championships and a new, privately run invitational was formed instead, the panel of teams involved voted to liberalize the substitution rules.
