USA v Canada Only Pre-WRWC Chance
USA v Canada Only Pre-WRWC Chance
USA and Canada is set for a Saturday afternoon women's 15s test match at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center.
The game will kick off at 3pm PT, and will be an hugely valuable warmup for the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup in Ireland.
The sad fact is this will probably be the only official test match for the USA before the big event in Ireland. On Tuesday, the two teams will meet in a matchup that will be closed to the public. But Saturday's game will be shown live on The Rugby Channel and will be open to the public ($10 admission).
"Our partnership with Rugby Canada is instrumental to the growth of the game in North America," USA Rugby Chief Executive Officer Dan Payne said on USARugby.org. "We are excited to host this wonderful Can-Am event to showcase women's rugby and give two of the top-ranked national teams in the world, who have worked tirelessly to prepare for the upcoming Women's Rugby World Cup, meaningful test rugby."
The USA and Canada have named their lineups for Tuesday's game, which will be viewable on USA Rugby's Facebook page.
