USA Rugby has posted a report that USA Men's 7s Head Coach Matt Hawkins has stepped down.
Hawkins, who was captain of the USA team before being named Head Coach a little over a year ago, is one of the USA's most experienced 7s players.
The South-African-born former water polo player with the nickname The Polar Bear, is the USA's third coach since early 2011.

Down by 17 points in the second half, the USA scored 20 unanswered to win 38-35 over Canada, and in so doing finished June on a high and garnered no little bit of fan appreciation in Sacramento. As far as I can tell, this is most certainly the biggest USA comeback.
