Las Vegas Invitational 7s - 2015

February 14 2015

posted Feb 14 2015

After UVic Women claimed the first BC title yesterday (scroll down for story), three BC teams took Gold honours today, UBC in the men's College division, BC U16 Boys and the BC U19 Elite Boys. It was expected that UBC would defend their College title but the U19 win was especially gratifying as there were some strong opponents including defending champions High School All Americans and Canadian rivals Ontario.

Congratulations to all the championship teams, and to the teams that made the finals (BC U17 Boys, BC U18 Girls).

Tomorrow is the final of the Women's Elite and a surprise result is that both Maple Leaf teams were eliminated. Aptoella which is BC based and organized by Barbara Mervin features BC Premier women (Velox, Burnaby, Capilano) - they will meet the Netherlands team in the final.

The men's Elite title was won by neighbours to the south Serevi Rugby based out of Seattle.

BC 31 - HSAA 5

From goffrugbyreport.com

After a solid weekend build up to the final, the High School All Americans ran into a wall of Bears in the final of the Boys HS Elite 7s at the Las Vegas Invitational, as British Columbia beat the HSAA team 31-5.

It seemed as if BC had an extra spring in their step. They were quicker to the loose balls on the restart, they were physical in contact, and figured out what the referee needed in the breakdown.

The Bears scored two quick tries and really never looked back.

Women's College 7s

UVic won the championship, the only BC team so far to claim that honour with one day left in the tournament.

UVic 21 - Guelph 12



Men's College 7s

UBC and Brock meet in the final, two Canadian teams. The final will be held in the main stadium on Saturday at 6:42pm, UBC are favourites to repeat as champions.

High School Girls Open 7s

Ontario won the final with room to spare, BC came second.

Ontario 31 - BCRU 0 (Cup Final)

High School Boys Open 7s

The BC U17 team came second to the American invitational side Atlantis. No score to report on that yet.

High School Elite 7s

They changed the name of this division to the U19 Elite so I guess you don't need to be in HS anymore. Not sure if the Canadian sides adapted to this change yet. The scores came in late but BC are in against Atlantis, both Ontario sides made it plus the Upright Academy side from Ontario. Utah look to have a strong side and tied BC in pool play, the Washington Loggers, neighbours to the south, look strong as well. One of the HSAA (All American) teams didn't make it, HSAA 1 are defending champs.

8:40 AM QF Cup HSAA(1) 46 v Rugby Ontario(2) 0
9:00 AM QF Cup Upright Rugby Rogues v Washington Loggers
9:20 AM QF Cup Utah 12 v Rugby Ontario(1) 34

Getting results from the LVI is always a bit hit and miss. The official site is virtually useless for providing timely results, they usually update them all late in the evening or next day. BC Rugby and Rugby Ontario do a credible job providing scores for their teams. Serevi as usual is the King, not only on the field but in reporting results for their teams through Twitter. Upright Rugby provided some results from their squads. Lionheart 7s the same.

ThisisAmericanRugby.com did a good job on the Elite men's results. @UBCRugbyAlumni cover the UBC teams well. There is an app called Real Time Rugby but I gave up after 5 minutes of entering information about favourite teams, etc and never got to actually finding any results.

So a brief summary, in the Men's Elite Serevi the defending champs look on target to make the final again. The Maple Leafs are 3-0 but haven't played any of the top teams yet. The USA Falcons are looking strong and are 3-0 as well. It wouldn't be surprising if the champion comes out of that group of three.

The Boys High School Elite (BCRU U18), the Boys U16 and the Women's Elite divisions start Friday.

The BCRU U17 Boys look strong in the High School Open division going 3-0 and not giving up any points. The BC U23 Women are also undefeated as are the U18 Girls in the Open division.

In the men's College division UBC look on track to defend their title, especially with rivals UVic in Germany. It's still too early to tell in the women's College division without the other scores.
