GRR: Tropical 7s
Tropical 7s is set for April 18-19 and once again 16 brackets, over 200 teams, on 15 fields in Tampa, Fla., but there's also a chance for players who haven't been able to find a team.
Here's a quick roundup of what happened in the Boys and Men's U23 brackets at the Tropical 7s.
Men U23Wheeling University stormed through with a 6-0 record in pool play, beating Upright Rugby 28-5 in the process. That setup a final between Wheeling and Upright, which Wheeling took in emphatic fashion 43-5.
Some statements were made at the Tropical 7s Boys U18 Elite bracket today.
The Jamaica Junior Crocs showed how far their program has come with two impressive victories over Rugby Quebec and Hawkeyes, and their loss to Eagle Impact Rugby Academy (which cost them #1 in their pool) was just 24-19. EIRA, like the Crocs, went 2-1, losing a shaky opener 12-7 to Hawkeyes.
