GRR: National Teams
The HSBC SVNS series can give and it can take away.
For the USA Men's team they rolled into the quarterfinals having gone 3-0 in Pool Play, only to be summarily turfed out by a team they had already beaten.
Well, the HSBC SNVS series is weird.
The USA women looked very shaky through pool play finishing off with a loss to New Zealand in which their passing left a lot to be desired, and even when they were close to scoring, they’d see the Black Ferns steal the ball and run the length of the field.
It took some old-school heroics from the old man and some from the younger guys too but the USA it 2-0 in Perth after Day One.
They defeated Australia and Ireland and are in excellent position to win their pool.
The USA women finished up their opening round of games at the Perth 7s with a loss and a win, but are probably in a good position to make the quarterfinals.
The Perth stop for the SVNS World Series will kick off on Australia day on the shores of the Indian Ocean and the USA teams will have their work cut out for them.
