Congratulations to Evan Thomas “ET” on his selection for USA Rugby South, Rugby Americas North (RAN) Men’s U19s team to play in Mexico City in July. This is Evan's second year as a RAN participant and he is following up from his March invitation to Las Vegas Invitational 7s tournament.
About the RAN:
MEXICO CITY — The annual weeklong international competitions for Rugby Americas North (RAN) Men’s U19s and Women’s 10s is slated for July 8 through the 13 in Mexico City. Four men’s U19 teams will play a round-robin tournament on July 8, 11 and 14 while the four women’s 10s teams will compete on July 12 and 13. Mexico City last played host to a RAN tournament in November 2017 when RAN Sevens was held at the Campo Marte grounds.
Entering its 16th year, the Men’s U19 tournament is an important development tool for the region. For many young athletes it’s a first introduction to the international stage and the year’s only chance to compete against high caliber teams in a condensed tournament format. USA Rugby South will be looking to become three-peat champions but will have to beat Mexico on home soil. The teams have faced off in the final for the last four years.
