Las Vegas 7s Pools Set, Eagles Into Pool D

The draw for the Las Vegas 7s has been set with the Eagles being dealt a friendly hand (see what we did there) in Pool D. Thank to their win over Spain in the Bowl quarterfinals the U.S. now sits five points clear of Spain in the race to avoid relegation. They will have the opportunity to increase that lead as they will face Spain in Las Vegas. Also in the group are Argentina and France. Both of those teams made the Cup quarterfinals in Port Elizabeth. However, the Eagles have had success against both teams in the recent past. All in all, it should be a good opportunity for the Eagles to have a chance at making the Cup quarterfinals.

Port Elizabeth champions South Africa will headline Pool A along with Kenya, Wales, and Canada. New Zealand will be in Pool B with Fiji, Australia, and Scotland. Rounding out the competition will be Pool C with Samoa, Portugal, England, and Uruguay.
