New franchise this year on the right in the colors of the great state of Texas the Texas team they will take on the Rocky Mountain experts a team that’s had incredible success in this now three years bre of PR SS but they were knocked out in the semis so they’re playing here
For that third place spot I mean each 14 minute match is just so brutal one more costly error and that’s what sends you to the constellation and as you said the experts have looked so consistent throughout these last few stops and so they’re looking to avenge themselves but
The Texas team also looking hot that first stop in Austin they hosted that tournament they were looking absolutely fire and class and so they’re looking to return to that form to finish out their season see the experts lineup Madison Hugh captain for the US Olympic teams and sevens he’s a star in
This country and in the sport where’s number 10 he’s their leader Texas who stands out for them for you Bri I mean this guy who is kicking off Jerome Nal has just been electric I mean even last year too just was really standing out such a good runner so good with ball in
Hand and then also tion loots who also plays for San Diego Legion and mlr for his 15’s rugby he’s had a great match so far and in that earlier in the day so we he’ll looking to continue that Nal with three tries and the five stops contested
Ball up in the air it’s knocked on though by the experts check in with Nick gandi for an update down on the pitch Nick well thanks hold I think I’m Nick canori again though because it’s ring again no concern about the pitch I think at this point obviously as Brie said these athletes
Are used to playing in this no major condition I think it’s just going to be about holding on to the ball now the trainers on the sides have been applying some spray if you will two hands and I think it’ll just be a matter of hanging on to that pill holds and and
Maintaining it especially in a situation like this cuz it is it’s raining pretty steadily right now gotcha thanks Nick on of the scrum Texas team they’re going to channel and they’re going to take this one home right on of the set piece Craig hunt diving in the South African out of
Cape Town first points in the match oh Craig hunt that was a thing of beauty my friend look at this Texas team scrum so stable and just leaves the perfect ball for hunt able to exploit that Gap to mass Us’s left and just backs himself
All the way look when you get a perfect set piece like that and you’ve got the speed and you can spot that Gap and just go yourself I mean he makes it look so easy but really he has the scrum to thank for that one too no question about
It 30 m Run 10 seconds 7even nothing converted kick good from the Texas team Nal short kick battle for it up in the air experts have it Madison Hughes now gave up the rock hard charging run there but stopped in his tracks there’s Jeremy missing Galo go please it’s going to be a
Card so Texas going to be short a man here and you heard our referee that’s the verdict and into the S bin goes tion Loot and that’s difficult because it looked like glot had wrapped him up at the feet or at the legs and then his teammate just came in high and
You want to get those double tackles when you can but I think because mongu had just such an awkward fall look here go back let me do it so actually loot is the one who goes in high my apologies and he just gets Tablets by short and
Certainly that was not on purpose but it is always the safety of the player first as they draw the experts draw a penalty from the scrum but not on the Mark will not be happy about that right wait till the ball’s in till the ball’s in and it just makes sense here right
It’s a that was a good call by the referee but just making sure that all the players safety are prioritized first especially in these tough conditions here we go Madison Hughes comes out of there with it they fake his Direction backwards off the hands there unable to control it was teron
Meek now it’s handled by the guy they call the missile he’s wrapped down and taken down that’s Jeremy missing galloo wearing the scrum cap ‘s the restart to the back he goes Alo had the ball now Meeks again near side right down below us couple of big boys connected
There carry from Manny tago he was wrestled down Madison Hughes now spins it into the middle galloo good ball play experts trying to break through there a couple broken tackles good offload there Texas right there to make the stop on that second carry though missing Gallo plays it
Outside able to break through about 12 M shy the tri line are the experts used to it LS it back right in the middle of the park now Jon Meeks with it big man he is coming at you with a lot of power down to the five now he’s about 3 m
Shy but it’s knocked on yep oh just lost forward there in contact the experts really gaining a lot of meters because the Texas team as the ball gets spun out from one side to the other the Texas team is not closing the door on that weak side the defense is
Not coming up hard enough so when the ball does switch Fields again the experts are able to gain more territory that’s tough for the experts there but the team will be very happy to have gotten that possession just in time as the sin bin is over and now they’re back
To full strength tion loots out of time’s back on said s find set hunt not happy with that and often you don’t you don’t really get that feed call very often there’s a try it’s taken in right off that tap and go and it’s put in put down by Jeremy missing
Gallo not a missile play more of a power run from him but he puts it in a 75 it out then you have you don’t often get that feed call in sevens but the referee blowing it up right there and so here they get the free kick
So Jeremy mangalo just says I’m going to go in my self that is tough for the team scrum kick no good for Madison Hughes normally as surefooted as anyone in this series but wet ball wet conditions can happen yeah and especially as the ground gets softer when you drop the ball the ball’s
Not going to come up off the ground as you like it’s going to come up slower might there’s going to be less height and so that’s harder for you to strike and so those two-point conversions it’s even more important even more critical to make sure that when you store a try
You’re trying to center it as much as you can here’s a race for it Hughes coming back down on the turf right at the halfway line n was there with him scrum called scrum called we’re going to scrum from here five Jake Sorano good chance to play this this
Weekend Texas had a player removed from this Championship weekend so Sano gets to take that spot minute 14 until half time Texas teamine on top 75 set they’ve got it picked up off and running they got some space here n outside ball good one to tion loots who
Scored in the seven eyes and loot gets another one sticks the arm out sheds the defender and finishes off again Bri oh Ben talk about a clean stiff arm there from tion loot can’t wait to see that one back and let’s just look here so Nal picking off the scrum he’s been
So dangerous perfect timing on that gets the ball left hand and just bam shakes off the experts that’s two aloa who unfortunately gets that facial conversion attempt that one’s Off the Mark dare I say he totally redeemed himself you with me movie abely absolutely Deon loots gets it done good
Job by him product of Cape Town South Africa added for this weekend’s event he’s got 10 points two tries here today had one as I mentioned in the semifinal Le here in the states for the San Diego Legion in Major League rugby Madison Hughes FS it inside of his own
22 going to pop one over the top trying to turn on the Jets and get there but it was loots that knocked it away from him knocked on the ground it’s knocked on and that’s the half so the Texas team on top here bre 125 over Madison Hughes and
The experts ton loot spent a little time in the S bin but comes back scores his second try here so far in DC 125 his side leads it at the break I promise you DC if you still in the rain FL Quest so let’s get one wor because it’s time for the W
Infl let right I see like the W DC come on Ro there we go keep those arms in the a we let you care it’s 2 here we go well coming up next when this one’s over 827 kickoff that is the Looney side they’ll take on the New York
Locals led by Stacy Waka and a trio of New Zealand stars on their side this season the locals one of the new franchises this year in the pr 7s so 12 Texas on top over the experts here in this second half set to get underway in this third place match
Here good kick outside but it goes into touch two battling for it over there looks like Center ref will just confirmed with the AR ball did go out of bounds I need somebody wait I need somebody I need somebody here so experts retain that first possession got to make sure they
Get this line out clean yep Madison Hughes plays it back good ball on the outside Williams got a ton of speed trying to get free can’t but they’re down 10 m off but they turn the ball over here and Texas comes away with it it’s a knock on
Called watch out 12 let’s check in with Nick some halim thoughts maybe adjustments what do you have Nick Ben great thanks mud so I was just actually chatting with rose Featherstone who as you know is not playing this with that ankle says he probably could have gone
But given the situation and whatnot he aired on the side of caution but talked about just how much these conditions certainly change things and adjust the game plan a little bit takes a little bit more effort to hold on to the big guys and bring them down because jerseys
Are slick and then of course proud the passing plays a factor the one thing Road though is that this pitch is held up incredibly well it drained perfectly and it’s not even torn up after that first consolations match for the women good deal two matches left both
Championship tilts OD n’s pass it’s on by Blue by the ball turned over right on Q to that thought there from Nick but that’s just the way the ball goes sometimes just really good defensive pressure from the team there even though the ball was being moved laterally so
Quickly by the experts they stayed manto man and just kept going following that lateral Runner and as the switch happened still keeping that pressure high staying up high and making the experts drop that ball again it’s all about that pressure and now they’ve drawn a free kick from that scrum see
What they do with it here loot sidest stepping a couple stiff arm there on teron Meeks on the neet that’s going to be a high tackle and a card on Meeks so he’s going to head to the bin and sit for a while with five to play the
Match it was loots that did the same thing to teron Meek now Meek’s on the other end of it so the play territory here boot that one down that’s a heck of a kick stays in and it does they couldn’t get to it experts have it inside of their own
22 Williams steps to the outside protects the ball wrestle down Hughes is there getting to it to get it free at the base there was Jack odendall the South African is College rugby down in Georgia life University good ball there trying to break through here was tago mishandle
Texas is on it sano’s got it they got help Breeze pointing to the outside and they get it outside and Bri Kim calling it need a camera on you up here in the booth great call Patton takes it in and adds to the lead it’s
175 we don’t need to put me on the embarrassing highlights Ben that was good keep it to the players on the field but look the team just quickly recognizing how many experts players were on the right hand side of the field there was maybe only one maybe two
Experts that were even on the other half so just take a look here they turn over that ball and you see loots pointing get it out there and just letting the ball do the work Nal pinning that last Defender and then it’s just easy cruising for that triangle the Quan
Patton he’s put together well Hometown product out of Austin Kansas State grad Craig huntt back in conin missing the tackle there Oden flings it back Patton missed it picked up here now by cwe and so the referee playing a long Advantage there five as another sub comes on but not
Seeing any advantage being played like in that last tackle so just going to bring it back it will remain experts ball back to seven on seven here teron Meek a free man he’s out of the sinen scrum here for the experts plenty of time 246 they’re down by 14
Plenty of time indeed but I think just to keep that momentum boosting and and increasing they’ve got to make something of the possession I think if they don’t score a try in the next 30 seconds or so I think the Hope starts to disappear for the experts there’s Robert tenorio sa Pao
Brazil 25 caps for the Brazilian national team grew up in the set area of some slums and tough area and really said Rugby’s what pulled him out of there and helped him change his life lay to the back here experts now trying to make a push with two and A2 to
Go here in the match third place tilt here on the men’s side women’s and men’s finals coming up once this one’s completed hunt physical presence there tago gets it to OD andall now Hughes outside steps around one good play from Hughes big ball and the
Experts are going to dive and get it in and down perfect play well executed there from h Hughes and Company now it’s 1910 yeah oh you just talk about such a pretty pass from Hughes there and look Tu mooa really brought in a lot of guys yeah on that carry team still able
To reorganize pretty well and Hughes noting that and going I’m going to create a 2v one here just so slick with the hands and getting that offload to cwe and look they’re right back in it now it’s still a two possession game but 90 seconds left in the match can they win
This restart get the ball back and go again Tai cway there you saw him the TR score it’s 10 meters it’s got to go it does and Bri they get it it was picked up there and handled by Jeremy missing Galo now the experts here they come once again driving inside of the
22 go go Five On Five Oh and that’s costly there the team trying to get aggressive in the breakdown but just not keeping their feet down to the 5 meter are the experts to the back little bit of space missing Gallo mishandled it offside is called on
Texas and here if they can be physical and get it in right here with the they take it home they get the job done so it’s 1915 now still enough time still enough time now remember even if Hughes gets this kick off and time goes away expires
They still will go back for one last restart kick for Madison Hughes is good 1917 here last play here’s a look back for at the try and just really simple from fwa yep just able take it in close to the post so that Hughes has an easy conversion
But again they’ve got to repeat what they just did on the last restart here’s the match up in the air Miss Galo gets it back didn’t go 10 m though says the referee and that’s going to allow Texas to end this thing they just got to kick
This thing get it into touch and now play won’t get up as far as we are but it’ll get about seven or eight rows up and that’s the match bre the Texas team first year in PR 7s in a strong showing they won the event in their Stadium Q2
Stadium and they Clos things out taking third in the series here in their first year of competition Championship Rugby on the other side of the break he
