Opening Kick is a segment devoted to bringing you all Eagles and U.S.A. Rugby news in one location.
Hopefully you didn't miss our inaugural podcast. We talked with NYC 7's co-coach Steve Lewis, SFGG stalwart Mose Timoteo, and answered your questions.
National Teams:
Big news yesterday as Matt Hawkins was named the new head coach of the Eagles 7's. He'll begin immediately and will be at the upcoming nationals and Serevi RugbyTown Sevens.
The day began with some speculation that it might not be Hawkins given that both Mike Friday and Paul Treu were available. However, when Geoff Alley said he wasn't in the running we knew and appointment wasn't far off.
Colorado natives Sadie Anderson and Kittery Wagner are excited to be back in their home state playing in the Nations Cup.
Club/College:
Pat Clifton reports that a new West Coast 15's competition could be in the works. (Membership required)
