Hosts Dallen Stanford & Robin MacDowell are joined by former USA International Kelly Griffin and England legend Dan Norton for Episode 7 of The Rugby Sevens Rollercoaster.

Griffin captained Team USA at the Olympic Games in 2016, when rugby returned after a 92-year hiatus. She coached the Northern Loonies to their inaugural Women’s title in Premier Rugby Sevens history, winning the Memphis tournament in 2021. Since 2023, Griffin has been the Women’s Head Coach of the expansion franchise, the Golden State Retrievers, who were finalists at the Minneapolis event on June 17th.

Norton is the leading all-time try scorer on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series with 358 tries across 92 tournaments for England. He is a Silver medalist from the 2016 Olympic Games with Team GB. The superstar is part of the Northern Loonies campaign in the 2023 Premier Rugby Sevens series, debuting for them recently in Minneapolis.
