Vancouver SVNS Next; Here's Where We Stand
The Vancouver 7s is the next stop on the SVNS World Series and we're getting into the serious part of the season.
Leading up to the World Championship tournament at the LAX SVNS at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. May 3-4, Vancouver is tournament four out of the six (before LA).
Here's where we stand:
End of Tournament Blues for USA
International 7s coaches talk a lot about fitness, but that word can mean a lot of things.
Losses Pile Up for USA Teams in Perth's 2nd Day
It was a rough Day Two for the USA teams in Perth.
The USA women lost twice, once to a very much in-form Canada to wrap up pool play 21-7, and then 19-7 to France.
As we have written before, France has often been the USA's toughest opponent.
Solid Day One for Both USA Teams in Perth
It was a good day for both USA teams in Perth.
The USA women won both of their games, and the USA men were almost as good in two nailbiters.
USA Men In Full Drama
Overtime, last-minute tries, and hanging tough. In the end, it’s winning games that matters, but win or lose the USA men’s team showed some improvement.
Changed USA Men's Team Readies for Perth
Early morning US time sees the USA men get back at it in the SVNS World Series, and there is a ton of work to do.
Ranked 11th out of 12 teams after two tournaments, the Eagles came off inexperienced, inconsistent, and not fit enough.
New Head Coach Simon Amor reacted by bringing in some top coaches and former team captains to push the players through a bit of a boot camp.
