Current USA prop and former Jesuit HS and Cal player Eric Fry has moved up a division in the pro leagues in England, switching from London Scottish in the Greene King IPA Championship's London Scottish to the Aviva Premiership's Newcastle.
New USA 7s Men’t National Team Head Coach Mike Friday has laid down the law, and all players who want to be on the national team - at least the ones in the extended camp this past weekend - know what is expected of them.
While the USA Men’s 7s team undergoes some upheaval and faces the uncomfortable question of whether they can qualify for the 2016 Olympics, the USA Women’s team is in a somewhat different situation.
They have coaching stability, with Ric Suggitt at the reins still. They have future stability, with knowledge that they have a much stronger chance of qualifying for Rio 2016.
On Friday Mike Friday ran the 7s players hard, was a constant voice at practice, and scared players a bit.
Good luck.
