International Rugby News
USA Rugby announced Tuesday that 15s and 7s Women's National Team star Jillion Potter has been diagnosed with Stage III Synovial Sarcoma, a cancer of the joints.
Potter was with the Women’s Eagles in France for the 2014 IRB Women’s Rugby World Cup last month and helped the Women’s Eagles Sevens earn bronze at the 2013 IRB Rugby World Cup Sevens in Russia last year.
Maka Unufe’s inclusion in the USA 7s team to the Gold Coast is an important step for the lanky young speedster.
So we wanted to know what Mike Friday and Chris Brown would put together as a USA 7s team, and we got hints early on. Now we know.
The hints were that Friday looked for a few more athletes who required some grooming. He looked for height, and rangy runners. One guy he didn’t pick, Garrett Brewer, is still almost the perfect example of the kind of athlete he wanted to look at.
CHULA VISTA, Calif. – USA Men's 7s Head Coach Mike Friday has named his squad to play in the opening tournament of the 2014-15 IRB HSBC Sevens World Series in Australia.
