Elite 7s
Rebel Rugby pulled off the very difficult task of repeating as Boys U18 Elite champions, although they needed a little good fortune to get there.
Throughout the tournament it became clear that Rebel and the new Next Phase Rugby team were going to face off in some fashion.
Here's a quick look at the Boys brackets in the NAI 7s.
U14s
Toko Malosi, Woodlands, Mountain View, and SacPal are all unbeaten in the U14 Tier II.
Ball movement and speed was the order of the day in Tier I with Atlantis, San Mateo, and Belmont Shore all finishing 3-0.
U16s
Here's a quick look at the Girls brackets at the NAI 7s.
U14sIt was a very impressive showing by the Utah Cannibals as they defeated Monarch, SacPal, and Belmont Shore to go 3-0.
Some might say the future of American men's rugby will be in ther two tiers of the NAI 7s U16 boys.
Certainly some of that future is there. Tested in a pretty hot crucible in Salt Lake City, these players find out pretty quickly where their weaknesses are.
This U16 bracket includes yet again a team from Guam, eager to challenge themselves yet again.
The U18 brackets for girls in the NAI 7s are stacked.
Any one of perhaps eight teams could win the Elite bracket. Perhaps it's the same situation in the open bracket.
