LA 7s & LAI

Baker appeared in three Olympics, two Rugby World Cup Sevens, 71 HSBC SVNS tournaments, and won two World Rugby Player of the Year awards. He retires having scored 293 tries in SVNS tournaments, which bested only by England's Dan Norton.
The USA Women's Sevens program has announced its first residency group for the 2024-25 season.
As July approaches the Paris Olympics approach, too.
The USA women’s team is going through a period of preparation that will include training with Canada and hopefully some more. in Chula Vista and then Tours before they enter the Olympic Village.
After that, it’s about focusing on themselves, and focusing on gold.
The SVNS series can seem awfully unfair at times.
The USA women took 3rd at the SVNS LAX, losing just the one game all weekend.
After beating Spain by a massive margin and Great Britain almost emphatically, the Eagles capped off their pool play with a tight 22-19 win over rivals Canada.
