The international rugby scene is lively this week, with Americans playing in Mexico, Spain and Wales. The Armed Forces 7s Championship kicks off on Friday in San Diego, and the Women’s Premier League is back after summer break. Summer 7s is also in full tilt, and there is a high school championship as well as senior club qualifiers this weekend. Feel free to send updates to Jackie Finlan. [lead photo c/o Pat Moroney]
