England’s sudden-death score ends title hopes of U.S. men at Rugby World Cup Sevens
By Rusty Simmons Published 6:12 pm PDT, Saturday, July 21, 2018 Danny Barrett didn’t even need the first question of his post-match news conference to be completed Saturday night before he summed up how the U.S. men’s rugby team was feeling. “It sucks,” the Pacifica native said in the bowels of AT&T Park. “I mean, we lost at home in the world cup quarterfinals. “It’s not easy.” The U.S. team came ever so close to advancing to its first-ever Rugby World Cup Sevens semifinal, pounding its way back from a 12-point deficit in front of a party-like crowd — only to lose 24-19 on a sudden-death scoring try by England.

Before the United States had even cleared the pitch at AT&T Park after its 26-21 semifinal loss to New Zealand on Saturday afternoon, Heavirland was reminding her teammates that they had to get ready to play Australia in the third-place match of the Rugby World Cup Sevens. “You have to forget real quickly, because you’ve got the next one coming right up,” said Heavirland, moments after the U.S. team pushed defending champion and No. 1 seed New Zealand more than any other opponent in the tournament. New Zealand, which beat its first two opponents a combined 102-0, was trailing the United States into the final five minutes of the match. Naya Tapper scored two tries, and Heavirland added the conversions to give the U.S. squad a 14-7 lead at the first half. “We took it to them,” super-sub Cheta Emba said. … [Read more...] about U.S. women drop into third-place match at Rugby World Cup Sevens
