Welcome to New York! On behalf of Metropolitan New York Rugby Union’s Host Committee, I am happy to welcome you to Emirates Airline USA Rugby All-Star Sevens, held in New York for the second straight year.

The Venue and Facilities

The competition will be held on new high-quality artificial turf fields on Randall’s Island Both the match field and a warm-up field are dedicated to the tournament all day on Saturday August 28th and Sunday the 29th. Information about the facilities is posted here. There will be bleachers, tents for players, officials and VIPs, portajohns, food service including beer and wine, a videotaping service, athletic trainers and medical professionals on site, event T Shirts for sale, and a concession with merchandise and information about USA Sevens in Las Vegas 2011. We hope to repeat last year’s arrangements for laundry service and ice baths for competitors.

Travel Arrangements

Updated Hotel Information and Google maps of local amenities are under Pre-tournament Info. We suggest those staying in Manhattan need not rent cars, as parking in Manhattan is expensive and time consuming. Subway and bus connection to Randall’s Island from the tournament hotels in Manhattan are relatively swift, and we post volunteers to help people navigate the trip early on Saturday and to the extent possible on Friday afternoon when teams visit the island for practices.

Publicity

This website will contain press releases as they are issued, sample photographs and links to photographs of this year’s event from Official Tournament Photographer Jess Bunshaft. Look for us on Facebook, LinkedIn and Eventbrite. Streaming video of the event will be on Ustream.com, and live scores will be posted to Mobilescore.

Thanks

Please join me in thanking the members of our incredibly hard-working Host Committee, who have all contributed countless hours towards this weekend’s success. We would especially like to thank Emirates Airline, Gilbert, World Rugby Shop and Canterbury and Opro for their support of USA Rugby. We also heartily thank the following organizations for their loyal support of this event:

Rugby Video Monday: Northeast Rugby Union (NRU) vs Pacific Senior NASCs Championship

If Jeanie the Greek was still around I bet they would have predicted that the finals for the Senior NASCs would be between NRU and Pacific again this year. Last year’s final with the same teams was thrilling as well, but NRU came out on top in 2010. The Championship match is below it pits NRU vs Pacific.

For full scores and rosters, go here. The rest of the matches can be watched through archive via U-Stream. To watch these matches, please go to www.ustream.tv/usarugby.

from USA Rugby:

BLAINE, Minn. – The USA Rugby Women’s All-Star 15s Championships wrapped up on Sunday with the Northeast reclaiming the title from the Pacific Coast at the National Sports Complex in Blaine, Minn.

The Championship game saw a rematch of last year’s finalists, Northeast and Pacific Coast battling it out for the title. The Northeast controlled a majority of the match and came out the victors 34-14 to reclaim their 2008 title back from Pacific to mark their fourth National All-Star Championship title since its inception.

In the consolation Tier A match, the Collegiate All-Americans couldn’t compete against a strong Midwest Territorial Union (TU), losing in a 65-0 thrashing.

Next up it was South versus Southern Cal in the Tier B final. With both teams looking to move up to Tier A, it was ultimately the Southern Cal side that would pull off the win, beating the South, 18-13.

In the Tier B consolation, the Mid-Atlantic TU also ran away with the match against the West, winning 50-5.

Rugby Video Monday: Full NASC Results and Archived Video

The weekend was full of great quality rugby and it was almost all available on the new Ustream USA Rugby site (they had generator problems all weekend so some games were missed or partially available…this includes the Women’s final, we only saw about 8 minutes of it).

Northeast Women, West Men Take Home Titles at All-Star Sevens

from USA Rugby:

NEW YORK – Following two days of stiff competition on Randall’s Island in New York City, the Northeast women’s team and the West men’s side walked away with their respective All-Star Sevens Championship titles, earning themselves bragging rights throughout the next year as they both finished the tournament undefeated.

The Northeast Rugby Union (NRU) Women’s All-Star Team worked the Pacific Rugby Union in its first round on Sunday, beating the Grizzlies 12-5 and moving on to meet the Mid-Atlantic (MARFU) Women’s Team in the final after the Mid-Atlantic team successfully handled the USA Development side earlier in the day.

The Women’s Championship match actually saw the local side get off to a slow start as MARFU scored first and the Northeast found itself trailing for the first time all weekend. The Northeast wound up taking back the lead in the second half, however, scoring its second unconverted try of the match and holding its Mid-Atlantic competition scoreless for over 15 minutes of play. (Finals in the All-Star Championships consisted of 10 minute halves.)

The NRU has now secured their fourth title in five years, continuing their domination of opponents with great team work and a consistent aggressive style.

“Obviously we are very happy,” Northeast Women’s Coach Chris Ryan said. “It was a really good week and we couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. We had a lot of local support and MetNY hosted a great event. Hopefully there are many more like this in the future.”

Unfortunately, the local Northeast men didn’t have the same success as the women. NRU lost their semifinal match after a last-second try by the Pacific Men gave them a three point lead and the win.

The Northeast actually had the game in its grasp within the last minute of play in its match against Pacific. Following a penalty within Pacific’s 22 in which one of the players was sent off, the Northeast decidedly should have gone for the try, but attempted a penalty kick instead. Pacific would come back in the very next play and score a try to end the game, 27-24.

“It was a very disappointing way to end a game we could have won,” Northeast Men’s Coach Sean Horan said. “But for the team to come this far is a great accomplishment. Unfortunately, a couple mistakes hurt us, several missed tackles directly led to several of their tries, but in sevens these things happen. All in all, the guys put forth a great team effort and I’m proud of them.”

In the other Cup Semifinals, the West faced the Mid-Atlantic in a similarly close match that came down to a last minute effort. In the end, however, the West walked away with it, winning 14-12 to advance to the cup finals where they faced the Pacific side. MARFU went on to win against the Northeast to take home the Men’s Plate.

Following such a tough match against the Northeast, the Pacific side may have been a bit worn down; and in the Men’s Championship finals, the West proved it had much more in the tank, jumping out to an early 21-0 lead. The Grizzlies attempted a comeback, but it was too little too late and could only come within seven, losing 28-19 to last year’s runners-up.

Besides taking second last year, this will mark the West’s third Championship title since the beginning of this event, nine years ago. And with a majority of this year’s players coming from two of its more dominant Colorado sevens teams- Aspen and the Denver Barbarians – the West’s Coach Sean Knight acknowledges the fact that this gives an All-Star team a powerful advantage.

“The team that learns how to play together the quickest has a great advantage over its opponents,” Knight said. “We are excited to finish on top and really owe it to an entire team effort.”

In the Bowl bracket, the Midwest won the men’s final over the U.S. Collegiate side, 29-5, while on the women’s side, the Midwest fell hard in the final to the South, 34-0.

USA Rugby Senior 15′s NASCs – VIDEOS!

UPDATE (6/21): The scores for this Tournament were posted moments after the games ended. If you would like Tournament scores posted LIVE, email me at scrumhalfconnection@gmail.com for more details.

I am still working on editing these videos so they are pretty and less jerky, but I wanted to get them up as quickly as possible for the die-hard fans out there!

And yes the first two videos are QUITE shaky because I had just finished playing and hadn’t eaten…I braved starvation and the risk of passing out to bring you these videos!

Look for more videos next week because my brother will be taping all the women’s matches at Dallas 7s this weekend. Summer rugby adventures are continuing on here at YSC!

**For final scores and writeup of the 2009 NASCs, go here.

Collegiate All Americans vs USA Rugby South Women from Todd Lowe on Vimeo.

This is the video from the USA Rugby Senior Women NASCs (ITTs) All Star 15s Championships played in Little Rock, Arkansas on Sunday, May 31 2009.

The South squad scored first in this match. The All Americans never scored in the first half.

The Collegiate All American squad turned up the heat in the second half and scored 31 unanswered points for a final of 31-5.

The video has not yet been edited but will be in the coming week to remove camera person errors, etc. The video will be uploaded back to this same link. I will also get up the first and second halves in HD soon as well (those will of course have separate links).
