USA Rugby has announced the schedule and invited teams taking part in the 2010 USA Rugby Women’s International Sevens Tournament in Las Vegas. Hosted by USA Rugby, and held in conjunction with the 2010 IRB World Series USA Sevens in Las Vegas, the Women's International Invitational will hold pool play and early knockout stages on Friday, February 12th, before taking a day off on Saturday and finishing with the final game on Sunday, February 14th at 5:00 p.m. in the Sam Boyd Stadium.
The field of teams competing for the 2010 Women's International Invitational throphee includes USA White, France, China, USA Blue, Germany and the Canadian National University. All of the invited teams should prove tough competition. France were Plate Semifinalists at the inaugural women’s event at the 2009 Sevens World Cup. China first gained international notice after having a great performance at the 2007 USA’s International Invitational Tournament and after winning the Bowl at the Sevens World Cup in March, 2009.
"I am very pleased with the number and quality of Women's National Sevens Teams participating in the event this year, given that it is year one of the Sevens World Cup cycle and there is a 15s Women's Rugby World Cup later this year. Each of these countries is committed to building their women's sevens program, particularly in light of the Olympic decision, and it means we will see a lot of young, talented women rugby players on the pitch in Las Vegas.†said Alex Williams, Women's High Performance Manager.
