RIO DE JANEIRO – Nate Ebner checked into his first Olympics rugby sevens match in the second half against Argentina on Tuesday in Deodoro Stadium, with a tall order. Team USA was trailing to Argentina 12-0, and the team needed a boost.
Ebner did his best to provide it, setting the tone with charging runs and hard hits. Ebner roamed the field wildly, attacking whenever given the chance. His recovery of a turnover in the second half led to a try for the United States, but it was ultimately all for naught – Argentina prevailed with a try as time expired to win, 17-14.
