GRR: Premier 7s
The PR7s All-Star Tournament rosters were named this week with plenty of top-level 7-a-side talent for this weekend in Portland.
The rosters for the USA 7s teams (men and women) and the PR7s All-Stars combine for 12 rugby Olympians. In addition, the PR7s men's all-stars will field three players who have moved on to a USA 7s team residency.
The Experts men's team and Loggerheads women's team won the first tournament of the three-event Premier 7s season Saturday.
Playing at PayPal Park in San Jose, Calif, the Experts won the tournament despite being without captain Logan Tago in the final, he was injured. Still the Experts beat the Headliners 19-7 in the final, led by a huge game from prop Aaron Cummings.
We previewed the women's teams for the Premier Rugby 7s earlier this week so now it's time to look at the men's teams.
