Elite 7s
As you can imagine, we here at Goff Rugby Report Headquarters had a lot of work to do getting interviews done and finding snacks at the Tropical 7s.
Occasionally we were able to watch some rugby games. OK, we kid, a bit, but if there were five of us we couldn't speak to every team ... and we'd need over a dozen people to see every game.
Well it was a wild and sometimes unpredictable weekend for the Boys brackets at the Tropical 7s.
Here's a look at what happened.
The Tropical 7s kicks off Friday at the Tampa Sportsplex in Florida, with over 200 teams in action in 14 brackets.
And while there are robust Elite brackets for boys and girls, it's interesting to note that the biggest brackets are Girls U18 Open (32 teams) and Boys U18 Open (30 teams).
The LA Sevens is soon upon us and so is the LA Invitational, which will be held May 2 in Irvine, Calif.
One day of competition means teams can come in, play, enjoy themselves, and see the LA Sevens, which will include the World Championship SVNS tournaments for both men and women.
It was a good showing for the Rebel Rugby Academy at the Rosslyn Park 7s over the weekend.
Rebel took a roster of 28 players to England, with everyone eligible for the top side. The squad underwent five trainings and then picked the team for the Boys U18 Cup, and the squad for the Boys U18 Vase.
Here’s how they did.
