March rolled in like a lion with the USA 7s in Las Vegas, followed by a new World Series tournament in Vancouver.
Both were huge successes, with Vancouver selling out all available seats - allowing them to open the upper deck at BC Place for 2017 - and Vegas continues to grow, and will even more so with the Women’s World Series USA stop moving to Sin City as well.
February began with an intense time for the USA Men’s National Team.
January, 2016 started with the news that the USA Men’s National Team had a new coach - John Mitchell.
The search had taken some time following the 2015 Rugby World Cup. For a while, previous Head Coach Mike Tolkin was in a sort of limbo waiting for decisions to be made. Meanwhile, a search was on and Mitchell, who ran the All Blacks in the early 2000s, came on board.
The USA U19s exacted revenge for their December 30 loss to Canada's U19s with a 27-19 victory Monday at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif.
