VANCOUVER, BC – The HSBC Canada Sevens Vancouver Men’s Rugby Tournament scheduled for March 12 and 13, 2016 at BC Place Stadium, welcomed two new sponsors last week – Vancouver Hotel Destination Association and Grosvenor – as Premier and Signature Partners.
More exciting firsts for the women's side of the game! The Elite City 7s held its first women's division this year, and the Women’s Collegiate All American 7s (WCAA) made good use of the event for its debut outing. Led by interim head coach Brandon Sparks, the All Americans swept the competition, defeating American Rugby Pro Training Center (ARPTC) 17-10 in yesterday's final.
Winners of Goff Rugby Report's USA v. Australia ticket giveaway have been selected.
Joe Parrish and Nick Udovich have both won two tickets to this weekend's clash with the Qantas Wallabies at Soldier Field.
Harlequins edged the USA 24-19 Sunday at PPL Park in Chester, Pa. in a pre World Cup exhibition match.
The Eagles and Harlequins both ran out an expanded game-day squad, featuring a longer bench and slightly relaxed substitution rules. The USA took an early 3-0 lead after they opened the game pressuring the London pro club and earned a penalty, duly converted by AJ MacGinty.
The USA Men's National 15s team will face Harlequins Sunday at 3pm ET at PPL Park in Chester, Pa., and Head Coach Mike Tolkin will field an extended bench, with Blaine Scully getting a start at fullback and captain the team.
As expected, Tolkin is resting some players, including Scott LaValla, Hayden Smith, and regular captain Chris Wyles.
