GRR: USA Men 7s
(USA Rugby Announcement)—David Still has announced that he will depart the USA Men’s Sevens program at the end of August to pursue opportunities with the XFL and NFL.
Still was a football standout at Saginaw Valley State University before finding his way to the USA Eagles via the RugbyTown National Training Center XO Academy.
Perhaps one of the most recognized and popular American rugby players, Danny Barrett is a true believer.
The game is paramount, and his new role as Executive Director of the Golden Eagles will allow him to further that ideal.
While we have heard the big BIG news about World Rugby’s new SVNS branding and the return of the LA 7s (SVNS LAX!), before we get caught up in all that the USA Men’s 7s team has two pretty important tournaments to deal with.
The Golden Eagles Association has announced that former USA 7s and 15s star Danny Barrett has been selected as the new Executive Director of their Eagles Sevens support group.
While the USA Men's 7s team has some immediate concerns this summer, namely qualifying for the 2024 Olympics, there has to still be an eye toward the future.
The 7s program Development Camp brought in 10 players who have a shot at the USA team in the future. They aren't the only players who are in contention, however.
