The USA Men are 3-0 in pool play at the London 7s, and, having qualified for the Cup Quarterfinals, have earned enough points in the Men's Sevens World Series to secure a spot at the 2020 Olympic Games.

The Eagles simply needed to leave London at least 22 points ahead of England to secure that Olympic spot. Having made the Cup Quarters, that gives the USA a minimum of 10 points from this weekend, and with England 38 points behind the USA, there's no way England can secure enough points, even if they were tournament champions in London and again in Paris, to pass the Eagles.

So even if Fiji, New Zealand, and South Africa somehow got past the USA in the standings, no one else could, and the USA is guaranteed top four.

What this means is likely a financial and a resources boost for the program, and allows a lot more flexibility for head coach Mike Friday in planning the summer. The USA will not, now, be in the Rugby Americas North Olympic Qualifier tournament, and the team that should be most happy about is Canada, which is now a favorite to qualify for Tokyo 2020, too.

As for the day's action, the Eagles have played better. They took care of business against Spain, with Carlin Isles zooming in for two tries, one each at the beginning of each half. Ben Pinkelman and Brett Thompson scored also, as did Perry Baker, back from injury and looking confident.

Against Wales the USA was up and down. Wales scored early, and the USA needed two impressive, powerful runs from the redoubtable Ben Pinkelman to put the Welsh in their place. Baker scored a fairly comfortable try in that game, too, and then iced it as he accelerated past the hapless Welsh defenders.

Wales scored at the death, but the game was secure, with the USA leading 28-19. So 28-26 looks close, and it was, but not that much of a nailbiter.

That game secured the Olympic spot.

Against Australia, but teams seemed intent on giving the game to the other. Australia had a chance to score early only to have the USA defenders force a knock-on at the tryine. Isles raced past for a classic Isles try, but again turnovers and errors by the USA gave a scoring chance to the Aussies—this time taken.

Danny Barrett looked his old self powering in from long range. But then, with time up in the first half, Isles should have run the ball into touch. Instead he tried to force something near his line, and rolled a look ball for Australia's Joe Pincus to pick up. Had he picked it up it would have been an easy try. Pincus dropped it.

Australia scored twice in the second half as the USA found itself rucked off the ball far too often. But finally, Stephen Tomasin, back from a spell in the sin bin, cut through and scored under the posts with no time left. Madison Hughes converted, and the USA had somehow won 19-17.

It was enough.

"It feels amazing," said Barrett of qualification. "It's just onwards and upwards from here."

South Africa, Canada, Fiji, France, New Zealand, and Australia all have made the Cup Quarterfinals, and as of this writing, probably Ireland.
