In addition to rugby-specific skill work and training, the All-Americans visited a Navy training center in the area and took part in a workout used by the elite operations force, the Navy SEALS.
The All-Americans will play two more matches after Saturday’s fixture. The last two matches will take place on July 13 at Harder Stadium in Santa Barbara, Calif. and Steuber Rugby Stadium in Stanford on July 16.

Scully Confident in Players |
|
Colleges -
All Americans
|
|
 The All Americans squad is full of players who have at least a little bit of international experience.
But even those who are new to this level of rugby have jumped in with both feet.
“It’s been a really good assembly,” said co-captain Blaine Scully, who toured with the All Americans in 2009 and has played for the USA at 7s and 15s. “Playing rep side rugby, and coming together quickly as a team, is a really difficult task. You have to learn a new system and implement a game plan, and it requires everybody to be on board 100% and willing to learn.”
The players ran a 1K fitness assessment run, but haven’t done a huge amount of fitness because there’s no time. Players were expected to be fit when they showed up, and they are.
“The guys are handling the international pace well,” Scully told RUGBYMag.com. “We’ve got people coming from all sorts of programs and all sorts of different backgrounds learning a new system. In the end it’s a matter of execution, and hopefully for the guys in their first experience at this level, their training kicks in. I am really confident in the players we have.”

Dartmouth Rolls Into H2H Semis |
|
Sevens -
Collegiate Sevens
|
|
Dartmouth rounded off the quarterfinal voting with a win over Army in Day 12 of the Collegiate 7’s Head 2 Head Championship yesterday. The Big Green won by a heavy margin and will now move on to face Central Washington in the second semifinal. Arizona and Texas are facing off today, with the winner earning a spot in the final. The teams were deadlocked earlier today, each earning 50 percent of the vote, but Texas has since pulled slightly out in front with 53 percent to Arizona’s 47 percent. This is a match up that could still go either way. If the results from the Collegiate Rugby Championship in June are anything to go by, Arizona could still win it, seeing as the Wildcats beat the Longhorns in the third pool round, 19-0. Arizona had an easier time in the pool stages as well, shutting out all their opponents. Texas beat Oklahoma and shut out Temple before their third round meeting. Both teams lost in the Cup quarterfinals. Whichever side voters choose to win today's match up will face either Dartmouth or Central Washington in the final.
