GRR: Mike Friday
The USA Men’s 7s team did not play well in Paris, lost in the Bowl semifinals, and slipped from 5th to 6th in the World Series standings.
In fact, given the Eagles’ recent form, they might slip to 7th. This is a far cry from the first seven tournaments of the season, during which they finished in the top eight all seven times, and finished in the top four twice.
In keeping with his desire to manage players, USA Men's 7s Coach Mike Friday has named a slightly changed squad to compete in the Hong Kong Sevens and Singapore Sevens in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series.
Coming out of a 3-3 performance in Vancouver, USA 7s team Head Coach Mike Friday seemed relatively at ease.
And perhaps he should be. The Eagles produced a more consistent group of games this past weekend at BC Place, crushing France, beating England, and beating Wales handily.
This Sevens World Series season has, for the USA, been partly a period of finding new solutions in the forwards.
Fiji defeated the USA 31-26 in overtime of the Cup Quarterfinals in the Canada 7s in Vancouver, taking advantage of a couple of lucky breaks to break some USA hearts.
