GRR: Eagle Men
The success of the USA Men’s 7s team from this year over last can be seen in the World Series placement (6th instead of 13th), and standings points (108 instead of 41).
Those are easy to see. So too, if you do a little research is winning percentage. In 2014-15, the USA played in 53 games, going 31-20-2, easily their best ever record. The year before, 14-34-2.
The USA won the London 7s this weekend for the program's first-ever tournament victory in the World Series.
The Eagles earned 108 pts in the series standings, easily their best, and finished 6th in the World Series, wel ahead of 7th-place Scotland.
The USA Men’s 7s team have won the London 7s.
Think about that for a moment.
For the first time ever in the international Sevens World Series history, the USA has won a tournament. They won it. The whole thing.
