GRR: Olympic Qualifier
It's the final chance in the next two weekends for men's and women's national 7s teams to get into the Olympics.
The final qualifiers will be played in Monaco and Dublin.
On June 18-19 16 men's teams will face off at Stade Louis II. Here are the pools:
World Rugby has announced that Monaco and Dublin will host the final rugby sevens qualification tournaments for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The USA Women have qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics, winning the NACRA 7s in convincing fashion. In advance of the championship, the Eagles defeated the Bahamas 59-0 in the Cup quarterfinals and Jamaica 53-5 in the semifinals. In the final, the 10-minute halves allowed the Eagles to post their biggest score of the weekend - 88-0 - over Mexico.
That berth to the 2016 Olympic Games is still a hope for all eight women’s teams competing at the NACRA 7s qualifier, but the USA and Mexico have emerged as the favorites for the final. Tomorrow begins the Cup quarterfinals, with the championship contested at 5:04 p.m. ET.
The USA rounded out a perfect pool play outing, defeating Cayman Islands 50-0 in the third round of the NACRA 7s Olympic qualifier. The Eagle women end day one with 169 unanswered points and take the top seed into tomorrow’s quarterfinals.
