GRR: USA Women 7s
It was all about the wins for the USA teams in Málaga, Spain Friday in the first leg of two Sevens World Series events on the Iberian peninsula.
Both the Eagle Women and the Eagle Men ended the first day unbeaten in a tournament that saw a team swoop in at the last minute and even then saw another nation have to hold back both of its teams because of COVID exposure.
CHULA VISTA, Calif.—Olympians return as USA Women's 7s Head Coach Emilie Bydwell names her side for the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series stops in Malaga and Seville, Spain, taking place Jan 21-23 and Jan 28-30.
Matches will be broadcast on NBC’s streaming platform Peacock.
A week ago we wrote about how the USA women's 7s team was not as bad as a 7th-place finish made it appear, and sure enough the Eagles were a bit better this week in Dubai; but they can be better still.
Seventh place isn’t so great for the USA Women’s 7s team, but it may not be an accurate reflection of the quality of the Eagle team.
USA Rugby Release—USA Rugby has announced that Emilie Bydwell has been selected as Head Coach of the USA Women’s Sevens National Team, in a unanimous decision by a five-person selection panel.
