GRR: Rebel Rugby Academy
This past weekend was a nice, big step forward for Rebel Rugby Academy as their three teams all brought home hardware.
The North American Invitational 7s had some new faces this year, and that was especially noticeable in the Boys U18 Elite bracket.
Eagle Impact Rugby Academy was not there, as their focus is on a multi-team 15s tour of Ireland. But even programs we normally see in the finals, such as Atlantis or Rhinos, weren’t playing for the championship.
Rebel Rugby Academy went 6-0 at the Tropical 7s to take the Boys U18 bracket.
Made up of players from the Colorado and Texas area, for the most part, Rebel beat Panther 7s Gold, Gorilla Rugby Academy Black, and Panther White to win their pool.
Two Colorado-based all-star teams are joining forces for the summer.
The Rocky Mountain Rebels and 5785 have begun working together, playing 15s under the 5785 moniker and 7s as the Rebels.
The partnership was set up by coaches Amy Rusert (5785) and than Pougnet (Rocky Mountain).
