GRR: USA Men 7s
Samoa put away the USA in the Men’s bracket of the Rugby World Cup 7s, beating the Americans 40-12 in the Round of 16 in Cape Town.
Only a week after the 2021-22 Sevens World Series wrapped up the Rugby World Cup 7s is set for Cape Town this coming Friday.
The 2022 LA Sevens produced perhaps the best lineup of quarterfinalists any promoter of a rugby event could want.
The USA's experience on Day One of the Singapore 7s was highlighted by bizarre or surprising occurrences in the final seconds of each of the three games.
The upshot is that the Eagles won their pool, going 3-0 and setting themselves up for a quarterfinal meeting with upstarts Ireland.
The USA Men’s 7s team just, barely, got by a tenacious Spain to virtually assure a Cup Quarterfinal spot at the World Series 7s in Seville, Spain.
The reason this one victory likely gets the Eagles into the quarterfinals is because Samoa was unable to compete, making every fixture against Samoa a forfeit. So Spain, South Africa, and the USA all started with a win in their pocket.
