GRR: Tropical 7s
As you can imagine, we here at Goff Rugby Report Headquarters had a lot of work to do getting interviews done and finding snacks at the Tropical 7s.
Occasionally we were able to watch some rugby games. OK, we kid, a bit, but if there were five of us we couldn't speak to every team ... and we'd need over a dozen people to see every game.
Well it was a wild and sometimes unpredictable weekend for the Boys brackets at the Tropical 7s.
Here's a look at what happened.
The Tropical 7s kicks off Friday at the Tampa Sportsplex in Florida, with over 200 teams in action in 14 brackets.
And while there are robust Elite brackets for boys and girls, it's interesting to note that the biggest brackets are Girls U18 Open (32 teams) and Boys U18 Open (30 teams).
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.
