Rugby, World Cup sevens 2022. USA will begin their campaign
against debutantes Poland here and Brian for the USA
back-to-back. Semi final appearances at the Rugby World
Cup.
Can I go one better this time around? Yeah, and it's all
about the start. This first game. They got a spread
the field use gray and Tapper on the corners. And really, it's
about the technical aspects, getting
the technical aspects, right? That repetition carries on into
eternity. Tournament like this,
it'll be USA to get it started in the white Poland to receive
in the red. The 2022 World Cup under way for both these sides
USA off the start, get the full tap back.
They'll have the first opportunity to attack
the inside the Palm sharp.
It sits up the taba a welcome return to this squad.
Numbers to the right and they move Midfield.
So
be the linchpin in the middle.
This one sits down for gray gray, fenge, one gray
straightens the attack. Great beats a second Jazz gray will
get us underway here in Cape Town the first try for
the United States.
But
she's been a revelation for the United States women's Eagles
team.
The speedster from Raleigh
spots, a gap in one of the weaknesses of Poland is if you
spread them out and you make them defend you shoot through
the half cab like gas. Great did
they don't have
the cover tackling ability. They like to play in a box,
does Poland. They like to be confrontational but when you
spread them out that's the result of great start for
the United States.
From Olson score remains, 5.0 a dream. Start for the United
States here in South Africa.
There is a still reserved. This quad coming in Poland,
obviously debutant, see their first run out at a Rugby World
Cup. Just happy to be here. United States eyes firmly
placed on the prize.
Young,
I've got a great restart here for the USA
tap again, able to secure possession.
They come Y tu mama.
Able to escape the tackle there from Palm enter
the USA again. Rushing defense from Poland.
A does. Well finds tap on the outside space in front of Nia
taba.
One of the most frightening sights on the 7 Series is
Tapper and open spaces. And now, open spaces Gumball for
Olson.
She'll ship this, right?
And gray will get her second in a moment.
Just a matter of minutes for jazz great to on the boards,
the United States both to the number rate and gray. Well if
that's great finishes to. But really it's from the Kick
two kicks in a row. They put the retain both of them.
Watch this cutout pass from Olson.
Looks to the corner
finds Jazz gray,
nothing but Green Space in front of her,
but it all goes back to the kickoff, those technical
aspects that I spoke of at the beginning. Dan those are
working out for the USA. And now, Emily by dwell the coach
of the US on the sidelines,
if they put another try or to in, can start rotating that
bench start resting players. This is about player
management. Through a tournament like this. Three
days is a long time
for the these players to be on the field
and you want to start being able to substitute people in
early. If you can
good crowd, starting to make their white in hit Cape Town
stadium in South Africa, as pollen again, to restart. This
time, I will secure, but the mistake inside their 22
immediately grunts possession, back to the United States
and troubled. There's Tapper with nothing, but Green
Pastures in front of her.
And her first try of what you would think, would be many this
weekend in South Africa, and the USA. Brian you mentioned
it. Now strategically
will probably start seeing some changes three quick tries
in a great pass here.
There's kidding MBA
and just threads, the needle
to Tapper
again,
Poland haven't to contract their entire Squad to play
what's in front of them. But they're leaving players out on
the corners
and the skill set of the u.s. is good enough. Tough to get
the ball out, wide
17 points to zero.
Just under three minutes left to play here in the first half.
These restarts being absolutely perfect from the United States.
Thus far
ulsan
drives this down towards the 22 Poland, finally able to secure.
Kousaka.
Now, kick away position looking for a Chase. They had
the chase. Need the Bounce. It is a generous one, but cannot handle
called Aid
and a lot of them are happy to let the advantage play out here
for the USA over.
Pressure comes in Doyle.
Now Amber again
the communication breakdown there for United States.
Most deliberate on a steak that one may have gone forward.
Wait for the referee's whistle now, pole, and finally,
a chance to attack here in the 22 of the United States. Yeah,
earlier pass. Chick.
Number six, for Poland, puts it on her foot. One of the
fastest players
on the women's tour is vulgar Giada cold day.
Wearing the number 47. Yeah. When you don't have any other
options with ball in hand, it's that kick forward and hopefully
get a good bounce for cold. A the Jazz gray was their defense
fine. Sit down the sideline pass,
it catches Tapper napping and:. A deliberate part of going into
the halftime break here. R17 points, 25 taschek with
a beautiful play from the back of the scrub
passion to see some space here.
And normally the hookers
in the middle of that scrum has to break to the left
but the USA just gives up The Blind Side.
Attach, it takes advantage of it.
Take a nap for just a moment
and you allow Five Points in and now suddenly
I Believe by well has a different set of circumstances.
Instead of start to substitute early in the first half for in
the second half she might have to keep these players on
the field. A little bit longer
reached
down to chat and Bob
straightens you Tack and Bub beats one.
That's a good return from MBA up to the 40 meter line here.
Evelyn
jinking run
say look to stabilize here, the USA
or back to the 22 Mar 2015. 18 acts drayton's, beat one beat
two second. Olodum are
one of the young superstars not only for rugby, the United
States, but around the world alone am are dragged down. You
talked about gold, a absolute speed machine
does well. So side a penalty as well, and that will be a big
one in the show.
Was of half-time, not allowing any more points here for pole.
Well
Jazz McRae was on Mars left, he does a great job breaking.
These two tackles mentioned the speed of motors on a cold day.
She tracks down. Mar
mar had options on her left. Instead gets tackled
Jazz, great is late
and off her feet,
so Poland. Avoids, another try going in and
only 10 points, down
homeless still in it,
17-7 to the halftime break, USA, Poland.
Continues after this.
Second half about to get under way here in Cape Town, South
Africa. Both these sides looking to punch their ticket
through the quarter. Finals. Here in the sevens Rugby World
Cup
was a resurgent Poland. In that first half brighten up the u.s.
H3 quick tries,
but yeah, the formula worked at first. It was Jazz gray and Nia
tap her on the corners. They put, they got three tries in
rather quickly, those technical aspects
to Great restart kicks, and
the third one drift.
Little bit far gives Poland
the ball.
And the subs have come on for the u.s. Kayla canet cristie
Kerr she in
for the Eagles
fresh legs out. There is like a wide
right to tries in the first half.
The try for jazz gray would be very, very important here,
the United States
steps in the scrum-half and moves his ball to the center of
the field. Strong running here from the United States obscure
she
up towards the halfway line is isolated needs. Help
comes in the form of a line of Mayor.
One of the concerns, I'd have for
Emily by dwell. The coach, the u.s. is there's two unsupported
breaks. We saw him are in the first half on break a couple,
tackles get near the Try line
and there's nobody there to support her
this time. It's ker, she
breaks through the support is late,
the rest of the supporting players. Those six players,
without the ball, need to get on their horse,
brooch.
Buying bags
said that get away with one. There is, I'll have this scrum,
just short of the halfway line.
Kinetic pushing for free, kick goes, quickly
catches to polish players offside.
Great.
So I slide it does well. Aw, look at the little in and away
from Jazz great down. The sideline will not need support.
Who needs support, not Jazz gray, that's for sure,
count them out. That's one,
not two, but three tries for jazz greater kick things off here.

is their home population 363 and I hope they got their tubes on
today to watch the hometown girl
dot one down for the USA.
The key is been to spread the Polish Defenders out wide.
Mentioned it at the beginning. Dan, if you spread them, why
they like to play in a box, they like to keep the game
tight.
There's good food look at Sami Sullivan.
From West Point,
makes your debut for the United States.
That's the first restart the Poland's. Really done a good
job handling but they do spill it forward. And now Thomas
Chris Thomas with the speed to finish this one off the USA, we
will take a look to see the grounding here. Perhaps
a touch lacks a daisy at the end.
Sometimes hard to see that pressure behind you see if
Thomas gets the ball down
Yeah, that's a try. Can you may award the try?
Chris Thomas.
Getting over the line and sit. Great start for the USA Poland.
Again,
first time out at the World Cup of great experience to them.
They'll enjoy the full weekend, lot of games left to play for
the USA. They have an eye on Hardware.
They would like it to be gold.
Yeah. They'll
finish this game and await the winner of Canada versus China.

China coming up and has the u.s.a. women's record at
the Rugby World Cup. Sevens three-time semi-finalists,
but three times losing to New Zealand.
They'll be looking to change that this year,
but it's time to hear from USA Rugby, debatin,
Sam, Sullivan,
You can expect wide spirals what a debut that was talking
to your sevens experience,
so might haven't experienced, I started in college and then got
into some camps with USA and then after some time in
the military,
I'm now fully with the USA team and it's been amazing. So far,
let's take a look around and tell us what did that feel like
running out here for your first game?
There was a lot of nerves coming in from the tunnel.
I don't think I've ever been that nervous, but
once we got in the field,
And the starters really showed out and those first couple
minutes all those nerves went away and I was just ready to
go. You coming to a team with seven
World cook experienced players. How much important active you
took the lead on their experiences?
It's extremely important. I don't see myself
doing what I do here without those girls. Slave taught me so
much in the last couple of months, and I'm really grateful
that they're here with us.
