Some Eagle Squad Questions, and Answers
The USA Men’s National Team has less than two weeks now before the two-game summer series kicks off.
Head Coach John Mitchell has already made his statement - repeatedly - regarding fitness. Such as:
Eagles Not on June Squad
Not in the USA squad for June.
These are players who were in the Rugby World Cup squad in 2015 or the Americas Rugby Championship squad earlier this year, but are not in the expanded roster for June.
Changes for 15s MNT for June
June is soon upon us and that means the USA Men’s national team will play its summer series.
The “series” is, of course, just the two games, with Italy at Avaya Stadium (San Jose, Calif.) June 18 and Russia at Bonney Field (Sacramento, Calif.) on June 25.
Some Stats and Notes from the Sevens World Series
Some notes from the 2015-16 Sevens World Series.
Top scorer for the entire series was Madison Hughes, whose final conversion in the 3rd/4th game against Fiji made sure he finished one point ahead of Seabelo Senatla of South Africa.
Perry Baker was 5th in scoring.
Baker finished second in tries with 48, behind Senatla’s astounding total of 66. Hughes was 17th with 23.
USA Rebounds, 3rd in London 7s
The USA 7s team finished 3rd in the London 7s Sunday, wrapping up a really strong finish to what had been a rough run of tournaments.
It was a weird tournament once again at Twickenham, mirroring somewhat how last year came about, where the Eagles had some really rocky performances in Glasgow and then turned around to win in London.
