Day 1 of Tropical 7s is in the books and it has been a fantastic tournament so far for Atlantis Rugby! We brought 6 sides to this tournament and each of them was entered into the highest level of competition available for their age group. In fact, we are the only organization to enter two sides into the Boys U18 Elite competition this year. Of our six sides, an incredible four of them remain undefeated through the first day of match play, and the program overall has earned a 13-5 cumulative record across all divisions!
