GRR: Eagle Men
BOULDER, Colo. (USA Rugby Release) – Chris Wyles has retired from international XVs duty with the Men’s Eagles, USA Rugby announced Monday, to focus on the remaining years of his contract with Saracens RFC in England and to push for the Rio 2016 Olympic Summer Games.
Going into Dubai and Cape Town, USA Men’s 7s Head Coach Mike Friday said his team was “undercooked,” meaning he would have liked some more time with them before the start of the season.
They didn’t look so undercooked, though, beating New Zealand twice and taking 3rd in the opening tournament, an event that has often been a tough one for the Eagles.
Goff Rugby Report sat down with new USA 15s MNT Coach John Mitchell for an interview posted this past weekend.
We didn't use all of his comments in the original interview, so here are some additional comments from the new Eagles coach:
CHULA VISTA, Calif. – The USA Men's 7s team has been named for the Sevens World Series stops in Wellington, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia.
The USA men’s 7s program sent a team to Mar Del Plata in Argentina to compete in the American Sevens, and the Falcons placed 4th, losing to Chile 17-7 in the bronze medal match.
Argentina defeated South Africa in the final.
