Sides of the Super Summer Sevens League: Rams and SWF
Super Summer 7s act ion at Samuel Adams Cook Park’s rugby pitches, “The Cookers”,
provides more than just something to do on Wednesday nights for its participants; it is also
a forum for recently graduated high school rugby players to “test club waters” by
associating with men’s clubs in a rugby way prior to making the club commitment.
Queen City Rams halfback, Tyvonn Johnson, earned his rugby spurs on the pitch in Heaven,
the Denver East High Angels Rugby Club’s homegrounds. He can be seen ghostly
through the gap and in space at signif icant pace for our D-3 union champs along with
- Western State University 15s f lanker and 7s wing, Colt Garcia, whose impressive
speed aligns well with that of scrumhalf Johnson shifty movements; and the pair is well-
complemented by Red Rocks daunting standoff, Steve “Frost” Morrison, with the size and
power of a center wrapped in a formidable f lyhalf physique.
Softball-Was-Full , comprised of former Denver East High Angels players, has been on hand
the mid-week 7s competit ion since its inception. The Bil l Baer-coached squad boasts the
largest numerical group in the league and with Middlebury College-bound
halfback, Jackson Bock, servicing a talented backline that includes the l ikes of
now-you-see-him-now-you-don’t blazer, Trejon Sanders, and the signif icant effect of 7s
prop and 15s f lanker/center, Jau’Pree Peevy. Mr. Bock who’s been East’s numbers man for
the past couple of seasons, has a classic address to the ball when goalkicking that makes
him deadly within the ten meter l ine and wil l stand him in good stead in his future rugby.
Mssrs. Sanders and Peevy are yet considering their educational options, but are considering
a number of Front Range schools as well as the scholarship program at Arizona’s Grand
Canyon University.
ed note: Denver East High Angels Rugby Club has been a signif icant player in the Colorado
rugby scene since its creation more than a quarter century ago. It has supplied players for
US Eagles, our national team, and its members range far and wide rugby’s signif icant scope.
7s
7-a-side Rugby
USA v Canada Saturday, Sacramento (CA), 2:30pm MT on Universal Sports cable channel
One may also see the aforementioned players this weekend on Saturday at the 2014 Denver
7s rugby tourney. The 47th Annual D-7s happens at Dick’s, this Saturday, beginning at 8am.
Denver 7s, which originated back in the day as the Wash Park 7s, is a Denver Barbarians-
sponsored national competit ion, and it has progressed to the forefront of America’s 7-a-
Side workup to the 2016 Olympics where 7s rugby code wil l be inaugurated into that august
competit ion.
D-7s owes its existence to the guidance, determination and rugby-savvy of one man: former
Barbarians f lyer, Howard Kent. For it has been Mr. Kent who has logged what others would
consider an overwhelming amount of hours over the course of t ime, year-in/year-out to
bring you this excit ing 7-a-Side rugby tournament. This year, as it has for the last bunch,
the action happens at Dick’s Huge Rugby Complex ( just east of 63r d Avenue and Quebec
Street, and north of Interstate-70), beginning at 8am. With multiple brackets: El ite, Col lege,
Clubside, High School and Youth squaring off throughout the day, the action happens
init ial ly outside and then f inishes inside the stadium in the early evening. You happen to
see Mr. Kent rushing around doing stuff (and he’s sure to be!); you be sure to give him a
hug, a big kiss and tell him: “Thanks for the Rugby!”

June North American Tests
US Eagles v Scotland at Houston, TX June 7: Suniula’s boot
ahead is gathered and we get seven instead of t’other way round after Stuart Hogg’s scoot… different match entire. As it happened, a 6-24 defeat. Didn’t get the result, but we didn’t get battered either;
v Japan at Carson, CA June 14: It was 17 for everyone in the house at the end of the f irst forty, but Eagles could not match the Brave Blossoms second stanza effort , fal l ing to defeat 29-37 at Carson; US led 7-0 in the opening stages and scores were knotted at 7s and 10s with Brave Blossoms breaking both ties in their favor, and the sides went to half level; A Japan advantage gained by a grounding just after re-start was never relinquished despite a hat-tryck of trys by Eagles f lyer, Blaine Scully;
v Canada at Sacramento, CA June 21
Canada v Japan at Vancouver, BC June 7: Canada , up 25-9
after forty, fai led the second half of their Test with Japan and crumpled to 25-34 defeat in Swangard Stadium at Burnaby; 19 on account for Brave Blossoms fullback Ayumu Goromaru;
v Scotland at Ontario, ON June 14: Scotland edged our neighbors to the north, 19-17 , on a late Greig Laidlaw st icksplitter to continue its pristine June Test run; an unconverted dot by Canadian Jeff Hassler and four, James Pritchard triple-pointers v a try by Grant Gilchrist, its conversion by Stuart Hogg and a further four penalties struck by the Scottish ful lback made for the result; a bloody funky card for Canada forwards icon, Jeb Sinclair, with homeboys roll ing into their opponent’s 22 at the 75t h minute reversed the f ield providing respite for the Caledonians and ult imately their joy at day’s end;

Summer Test Results
Friday, May 30:
Japan v Samoa at Tokyo: 33-14 for a bossy Japan : 18, for Brave Blossoms #15, Ayumu Goromaru, on a quartet of penalty strikes and three trys-converted; 10 new caps for Samoa in their loss at Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium;
Saturday, June 7:
Samoa v Tonga at Apia: Ikale Tahi replacement three-quarters, Fangatapu Apikotoa, slotted the diff icult penalty str ike in injury t ime to draw Tonga level Manu Samoa at 18s in Apia; the visitors led through minute 68 before a captain David Lemi-try and its conversion by Tusi Pisi saw the home team with its f irst lead of the match at 15-12; a further set of penalties traded before Apikotoa’s heroic boomer near t ime;
Fij i v Italy at Suva: Nemani Nadolo Nasiganiyavi , who’s been a force for Crusaders this season, accounted for 15 points on a try and pairs of conversions and penalty strikes to propel Fij i past Italy , 25-14 ,at the National Stadium; a pair of penalty trys and their completions made the numbers for the traveling Azzurri ;
New Zealand v England at Auckland: knots at 3-all (‘9), 9-al l (’38), 12-al l ( ’66) and
15s at the 73r d minute gave way to a try by outside center, Conrad Smith, at ’76 for a
scinti l lator of 20-15 for All Blacks in the init ial Test at Eden Park on the North Island;
Mr. Aaron Cruden back at the pivot and f ive sticksplitters his account; not a horrid
USA v Canada Saturday, Sacramento (CA), 2:30pm MT on Universal Sports cable channel
result for the visitors as Mssrs Farrell and Vunipola were not rostered for the match,
though they wil l be for the upcomer in Dunedin one might reckon as they are now in
the Land;
Australia v France at Brisbane: Wallabies Test questions bemused and confused
their guests in Lang Park; close for the init ial twenty at 10-3 Australia , but the home
side opened up France for a 29-9 advantage by the end of the f irst forty en route to a
50-23 shellacking of the French vacationers;
Argentina v Ireland at Resistencia: Good news for the visitors is, Ireland got the win in a brawling, boisterous affair, 29-17 , over hosts Argentina at Estadio Centenario; better sti l l Johnny Sexton knocked 8 points through the sticks and dotted the f irst try of the second stanza; bad news is that same Irish #10 went off with an injured wheel just after the three-quarter mark in the Test; groundings by wing, Manual Montero and openside Tomas de la Vega, the f irst converted by f lyhalf Nicolas Sanchez and the second by his replacement, Santiago Gonzalez-Iglesias, plus a penalty strike by Sanchez, made for Pumas numbers; the home team will want to sort their poor play in the set pieces - 3 scrumputs and 4 l ineout tosses lost - before the upcoming examination at Cordoba with the Men of the Emerald Isle;
Saturday, June 14:
Samoa v Italy at Apia: Manu Samoa returned to winning ways with a f ine
defensive effort v Italy , 15-0 , with home outside center George Pisi the numbers
guy as he potted f ive penalty strikes to account for al l match points; after an
opening loss at Japan at the end of May with a s ide that sported 10 new caps,
Samoa have a draw to Tonga on 6.7, and now the win v the Azzurri ; proper
direction; hopefully Italy are enjoying the beach l ife in Oceana, because they
cannot be happy about the shape of their Islands Tour thus far;
Fij i v Tonga at Lautoka: Nemani Nadolo Nasiganiyavi was good for a cool 20 on a
try, the conversion of al l the homeside’s half dozen groundings and a penalty
strike as Fij i topped Tonga , 45-17 to continue its unbeaten 2014 Pacif ic Nations
track; braces of groundings for left wing Sireli Bobo and right wing Watisoni Votu
for the home team, while Ikale Tahi got a pair from replacement engine Vil iami
Fihaki;
South Africa v Wales at Durban: Springboks rode a 28-9 f irst forty lead to a
comfortable, 38-16 , victory at Kings Park, Durban in the f irst of a pair of Tests;
Bryan Habana celebrated his brace of European championships won last month
with Toulon by a brace of groundings; a couple dropped goals by Wales #10, Dan
Biggar, against the two Habana trys-converted midway through the opening half
set the tone for the match staggered by a 2:1 penalty count unfavorable the
travelers; visitors were fast as wel l as furious into ‘Bok terr itory a number of
t imes, though they were undone by indiscipline;
USA v Canada Saturday, Sacramento (CA), 2:30pm MT on Universal Sports cable channel
New Zealand v England at Dunedin; visitors burst from the gates and out to a 10-
nil advantage early and a 10-6 halft ime lead before a thri l l ing last forty minutes
saw All Blacks overhaul at 13-10 with a try by fullback Ben Smith and its Aaron
Cruden completion at ’44; England drew level three minutes on, but a further pair
of groundings by Julian Savea and Ma’a Nonu on either side of an Aaron Cruden-
replacement Beau Barrett sticksplitter made for the hosts count, while a pair of
late dots by the travelers fullback Mike Brown at ’71 and Chris Ashton prior to the
whist le, both converted by f lyhalf Owen Farrel l , brought the Men of the Rose to
the brink, though 27-28 , their loss;
Australia v France at Melbourne: Evidence that each side was told to t ighten their
respective defenses with a scoreline of 6-nil at t ime; 6 for Australia on 3 each
from #s 9 & 10, but naught-for-two by the traveling show in a brawny,
conservative affair;
Argentina v Ireland at Tucuman; more bad for Argentina as they lost half dozen
set pieces and then the Test after leading, 10-9 at intermission; two dots, one by
Simon Zebo converted by Johnny Sexton and a late one by Sexton-relief, Ian
Madigan, with his own conversion, made the visitors win at 23-17 ;
Mr. Daniel Carter stepped onto the pitch for the f irst t ime in seven
months, contributing 10 points and a couple of sweet set-ups in a
f irst forty effort for Southbridge, before retiring… this t ime just
until the upcoming weekend when he’ l l don the number 12 jersey
and increase his t ime onpitch to 60-ish minutes.
Everything transpiring favorably, and the talismanic Cantabrian wil l
be riding the bench next week as Crusaders tackle Hurricanes in
Well ington, and pretty much the sky (actually a bit more of a loft!) is
the l imit from thereon.

2 Tournaments: Championship and Challenge. Kinda sorta the same as it ever was with
these differences meant to enhance the level of competit ion:
composition of the f ive (not 6), four-club pool system is rendered with more of a nod,
nudge and a winky to the quality of play in the English and French domestics, less so
the Celtics in the top f l ight, Champions Tournament:
o top six from (previous season’s) Aviva Premiership, top six from French Top
XIV, top seven from Pro 12 w/every country in that Pro12 represented
o for the tournament beginning fal l , 2014, the 20t h slot came from
a pair of playoff matches between the numbers 7 in Aviva and T14, or
Stade Français v London Wasps ; won by the English club after edging Stade, 30-
29 at home in a thri l ler by virtue of Andy Goode’s last second sticksplitter, and
then dropping the French club into the Challenge bracketing with 20-6 victory
in Paris
also a more equitable distribution of proceeds is meant to affect players’ purses in a

It ’ l l take 50 MPts plus to win a conference and pretty much in the high 40s to earn a wild card spot, with 60% of the clubs yet in posit ion for post-season glory:
clubs w/2 f ixtures remaining: Brumbies , Bulls , Hurricanes , Sharks o Brumbies can cop a maximum 10 points which, at 50 MPts, should
see them into extra t ime, but those two fixtures are: at Waratahs, and host duty of their dangerous and current hind-snapper, the Force franchise… cream shal l r ise;
o Bulls are on the outside rail and must have the max from their brace of matches left to keep the dream alive, but those contests be: on the road at Newlands v surging Stormers and also they must have a f inal fulsome victory over Rebels at Loftus Versfeld:
o Hurricanes also can pop a tenner, but they’l l have to do it: in host duty of conference- leading Crusaders and on the road in Hamilton v Chiefs , each of whom have after-hours aspirations of their own;
o Sharks need to win out, because they’l l want to maintain their league lead to ensure home fixtures throughout the playoffs; they can keep themselves on potential with big wins over: Cheetahs at Free State Stadium and Stormers at Newlands, a precarious road;
clubs w/3 f ixtures remaining (match in hand): Chiefs , Crusaders , Highlanders , Western Force , Waratahs
o Chiefs , defending tit leholders, will l ike to win out with as much pointage as possible for they currently reside in 4t h place on the NZ conference table; they’l l have to do it: at playoff-minded Highlanders , with the host win past Hurricanes and lastly with road victory in Auckland v the pretentious Blues ;
o Crusaders are in the catbird seat in the Land; they may remain that way with victories: on the road in Well ington v Hurricanes , with a delivery of the Blues at home and also joy in the f inal home fixture v Highlanders - each match, a l ightning-sparked conflagration ;
o Highlanders gotta win out, but by doing so wil l most certainly garner an after t ime slot; they’l l do it: hosting Chiefs , in a crit ical quiz v Waratahs in Sydney and by topping Crusaders on the road in Christchurch - a trio of would-be wins over: last year’s champions and this season’s present leaders of the Free World, errh, the Australian and New Zealand conferences, resp.;
o Western Force have found their pace this season; with a steadfast and formidable forwards group and the 9/10 combo of Alby Mathewson and Sias Ebersohn serving a capable three-quartersl ine that includes the l ikes of the Honey Badger of Oz, Nick Cummins; Force have stunned the league this season and would continue to do so after t ime via colorful home victories over sad songsters with a stingy melody, Blues , also the f laming Reds , and then on the road in the nation’s capitol, Canberra, v Brumbies…

Upcoming the end of your month
Friday, 6.27.14 Highlanders (38) v Chiefs (35) at Forsyth Barr: each lost last match; not right direction for the playoff-bound; Jumpin’ Jack Flash in the stadium on the weekend; Rebels (21) v Reds (23) at AAMI Park: last month when these clubs played, this weekend’s hosts had the road joy and popped this weekend’s guests down the ARC dungeon; they’ve opportunity to reprise that effort this upcomer;
Saturday, 6.28.14 Hurricanes (37) v Crusaders (41) at Westpac: right result could see homeboys driving the NZRC show; this’l l put your Northern Lights on in f ine fettle the Southern Hemisphere; Waratahs (43) v Brumbies (35) at ANZ: visitors cannot lose if they wanna playoff; home team can go a long way in securing the conference with victory here; Force (36) v Blues (31) at NIB: homeside has never been in this posit ion so late in the season and they’ve got to win big to remain in the hunt; visitors have neither sympathy nor care for their situation; one more disruptive act ion by the azure ones?
All SARC on bye this (6.27/28.14) weekend
Did you know? - Westpac Stadium , home to Hurricanes , hosted a Military Tattoo in 2000?
and last, yet certainly not anywheres the near end of least, Waratahs : the
Sydney franchise wins out with al l possible points, they wil l have earned a
f irst in the Austral ian Conference, and unseated their South African pals,
Sharks , from top of the league heap, thus ensuring themselves of home
playoff matches as long as they keep winning; should the ‘Tahs stumble
somewheres along the remainder of their Super Rugby path, Crusaders can
yet take the league with al l-points victories in their last f ixtures; any event
Waratahs remainders: at Canberra and Brumbies , home v Highlanders and on
the road in the Reds championship game
So close to the end of the season, though the only thing for sure is that it wil l be a
cl imactic and clashy [sic] conclusion to 2014 Super XVs Rugby; al l- in, a l l-on in the
last 160-240+ minutes of 2014 Super XVs Rugby action one should think!
