Pan-Am Games Pools and Schedule

The groups for the Pan-Am Games have been made official according to a posting by the Brasil Rugby Union. The U.S. will be in group A with Brazil, Chile, and Canada. The 7's Eagles should have no trouble advancing out of the group with only Canada providing a tough test.

At first glance they may seem unlucky to end up in the same pool as Canada and not in the easier pool B, but as long as the U.S. and Argentina finish first in their respective groups the Eagles should have a clear routh to the Gold Medal match.

Also, all the matches will be available on ESPN3.com.
