GRR: USA U23s
The Rugbytown 7s finished off this weekend, showing once again how it's something special on the American rugby calendar.
The USA Women's age-grade teams return from Canada 0-4 and perhaps a little bit humbled, but certainly the teams showed improvement over their series with two of the Great White North's best women's collegiate programs.
The USA U18s won the Corendon Summer Tour U18 bracket with a 47-20 defeat of Belgium U18s.
The USA U20s beat a tough Netherlands team 31-27 to go 3-0 and win the U20 bracket in Amsterdam. Tia'i Vavao was named MVP of the tournament.
The USA U23s lost to Delta 22-16 in a game that, based on previous scores, would have been expected to be much more lopsided.
OTTAWA, ON – The USA Women's U20s and U23s are set to play Queen's University of Kingston, Ont., and the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees in a two-day series starting Sunday.
The USA U23s, which is largely a college team, but not entirely, will finish up the Corendon Summer tour with Saturday's clash against Delta.
Team Delta is a men's team that competes in the Rugby Europe Super Cup. a semi-professional cross-border competition held in the spring.
