Friday the USA Women’s National 15s Team jumps back in the fray with the Super Series kicking off in Salt Lake City.

BOULDER, Colo. – USA Rugby announced Wednesday Pete Steinberg has agreed to continue in the role of Women’s Eagles head coach through the next Women’s Rugby World Cup cycle to 2017.
Steinberg led the Eagles to sixth place at IRB Women’s Rugby World Cup 2014 in France this past fall, earning a win against Kazakhstan with tough losses to Ireland and New Zealand.
The performance of the USA Women’s National Team this past weekend, during which they pushed England 17-13, might be an indication that the Eagles should have high hopes for the Women’s Rugby World Cup in France this August, or it could be just one result among many.
SURREY, England – England scored three tries in the first 50 minutes and held on the beat the USA women's national team 17-13 Sunday at Surrey Sports Park.
