BOULDER, Colo. – USA Rugby has begun the hiring process for a new head coach of the AIG Men’s Junior All-Americans.
Following the departure of previous head coach Billy Millard earlier this year, longtime MJAA and HS All American assistant coach Michael Engelbrecht led the U20s into the World Rugby U20 Trophy qualifier series against Canada, which they lost.
Best two weeks ever for USA Rugby?
Well, maybe. Hard to argue against it.
Consider:
That team photo behind the “qualified” banner will have to wait, as the USA lost 15-14 to England in the third-place match at the Amsterdam 7s.
The Amsterdam 7s will end in thrilling fashion, but it won’t be the final to which everyone turns. Australia and Canada, having won their respective Cup semifinals against England and the USA, will compete for the trophy, but both teams have already secured their berths to the Olympics.
The USA Women controlled its Amsterdam 7s Cup quarterfinal, defeating Spain 38-5 for a semis berth against Canada, which defeated France 33-0 in its knockout this morning.
