USA Sevens leapfrogs from 8th place to 5th


The USA had their best result for for in the 2016-17 World rugby Seven Series.  They placed 3rd after beating Argentine in the quarterfinals and nipping New Zealand 19-15 for 3rd place. This victory moves the USA up  8th place to 5th. 

The USA was in a 3 way tie with Argentina and France with 35 points. This victory put a little distance between France who are now 10th and Argentina who have 52 points in 8th. 

The USA leapfrogged Scotland who were in 5th, and Wales who were tied for 6th with Australia. 

The European teams are expected to do well in the last two legs which are in Paris and London but we see how Scotland, Wales and France faltered here in North America.

The good news for the Eagles is the are playing with confidence and next weekend the games are in Vancouver. Their group is Australia, France and Japan. They are all beatable.
