Who Would You Pick for 7s All Americans
Colleges - All Americans

All Americans coach Alex Magleby has a tough job this summer, because as well as selecting his All Americans and getting them ready for New Zealand Universities, he has to scout, select and train a 7s team.

While All-Collegiate 7s teams have taken the field before (Emil Signes put a team in the 7s NASC in the late 1990s), this is the first time that an All American 7s team has officially taken the field.

We at RUGBYMag.com thought we’d help Magleby out with our selections for a 7s All American team.

First, some disclaimers. We decided to go with players who are available. So, while we would love to have Thretton Palamo on this team, he’s now playing football for the University of Utah. Taylor Mokate is injured. Scott LaValla, who led Trinity College, Dublin University, to an All-Ireland 7s title, is in training with Stade Francais

So they are off limits.

Similarly, the military academy players are also largely unavailable, and that keeps Dave Geib, Ben Leaatigaga, Will Holder, Seamus Siefring and Nate Arnsberger off the team.

What we also struggled with was predicting who might be good at 7s even if we hadn’t seen a player perform at 7s. Pat Clifton took a few more flyers than Alex Goff on that level, but either way, while it’s not difficult to predict whether a player might have 7s potential, predicting whether a player can perform at a high level is much tougher.


Pat Clifton’s best 14 players:
Prop: Cam Dolan (Life)                Shaun Potgieter (Arkansas State)
Hooker: Nate Ebner (Ohio State)     Seamus Kelly (Cal)
Prop: Ryan Roundy  (BYU)           Benji Goff (Tennessee)
Scrumhalf: Peter Tiberio (Arizona)    Tonata Lauti (Utah)
Flyhalf: JP Eloff (Davenport)                Shaun Davies (BYU)
Center: Don Pati (Utah)                 Jarred Whippy (BYU)
Wing: Blaine Scully (Cal)         Rocco Mauer (Bowling Green)


Alex Goff’s best 14 players:
Prop: Cam Dolan (Life)                      Ryan Roundy (BYU)
Hooker: Nate Ebner (Ohio State)         Rob Carlson (St. Mary’s)
Prop: Nate Brakely (Dartmouth)           Blaine Scully (Cal)
Scrumhalf: Peter Tiberio (Arizona)         Dylan Lubbe (BYU)  
Flyhalf: Nick Downer                           Tonata Lauti (Utah)
Center: Don Pati                                 Seamus Kelly (Cal)
Wing: Rocco Mauer                             Tim Stanfill (CWU)


This list misses a bunch of players. Tim Maupin and Bubba Jones of St. Mary’s, Danny Barrett of Cal, Duncan Kelm of San Diego State, Brett Thompson of Arizona, Nick Viviani of Bowling Green, Adam Ducoing and Bobby Johns of LSU, Kellen Gordon of Central Washington, Tanner Scott and Chris Downer of Dartmouth, Alex Lee of North Carolina, Chris Saint of Penn State, Tim Acker of Kutztown, Gareth Jones of Temple, Danny James of Utah, Dave Martini of UCLA and several others. But it’s a start – an opportunity to consider how much 7s talent there really is out there.


We’ve played fast and loose with some positions, but that’s a good thing. Effective 7s players should be able to play wing and prop (Blaine Scully) and a smart halfback should be able to step in at scrumhalf or flyhalf (Dylan Lubbe, Don Pati, sort of).


Tell us who you like …

Ontario Tops West New York in CFL 7s
Sevens - Club Sevens

A young Ontario Blues sevens side broke open a close game early to down West New York by 26-7 in a game played at halftime of the Hamilton v Winnipeg CFL season opener.

Marcus Mitchell (Balmy Beach) had two scores for Ontario after WNY had tied the match early on. Tyler Ardron (Brantford) and Dan Moor (Beach) had the other scores in front of 30,000 plus at Ivor Wynne Stadium

Prior to the game, members of both teams helped unfurl the worlds largest Canadian flag on field for Canada Day.

“Wish it could have run longer,” said Blues Manager Mark Winokur “but the guys really enjoyed the whole experience and will look for more ways to work with the CFL. Essentially, we just produced and showed a 7 minute commercial promoting the game, Ontario rugby and the Blues, and in front of a live audience-a great return on investment for sure.”

The Blues will now focus on their season opening road trip, which begins in Calgary against the Wolfpack on July 30.
