Though the opening ceremonies aren’t until Friday, competition started today in Men’s Soccer and Rugby 7’s.

The US tied favored France in Rugby 7’s pool play and have a match later today with tournament favorite Fiji. They have a good chance to move on to the knockout rounds after the tie with France.

In general, 7’s is a much more accessible product to an American audience than Rugby Union. More open play and higher scoring. It’s exciting to watch.

The US men’s soccer team also takes on host France later today. Would gladly take another draw there as well.
