The United State’s women’s rugby team won bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics led by strong play from rugby star Ilona Maher and others on the United States team.
Their strong performance could mean even bigger things at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics where a gold medal for the women’s side might not be a distant dream.
The format was Rugby X. This is a fast-paced indoor version of Rugby. The letter “X” is of course ten in Rugby but this version was played with five players on each side. The match was decided in a “shootout” of sorts with players taking on each other 1x1 an entertaining format to say the least.Against Ireland, in the semi-final, the Eagles battled back after an early try by Ireland to win 30-15.Offering the open-field tackles of American Football, the up-and-down court pace of basketball, the bells and whistles of an indoor event, and a 21st century friendly 10 minutes per half, the sport of Rugby X was something to behold.
