GRR: USA U18s
The USA Boys U18s defeated Belgium U18s 43-26 Saturday in the opening game of the 2023 Corendon Summer Tour.
Granite Bay wing Thomas Koi scored two tries for the USA team and so did West Houston Lions hooker Seth Smith. Padraig Long, Jake Schumacher, and George Hemmen added tries, with captain and flyhalf Jonty Lee converting four.
In what has been a busy summer for USA national teams, the Boys U18s kick off their second visit to the Corendon Summer Tour in the Netherlands.
The U18s will play Belgium at 7AM Eastern Time (Netherlands is six hours ahead). Netherlands will play Canada three-and-a-half hours later.
Scott Lawrence was on the RuggaMatrix America podcast with Bruce McLane and talked a lot about the freedom to do his job.
The USA Boys U18s are returning to the Corendon Summer Tour event in the Netherlands after a successful showing in 2022.
Scrutiny, pressure, and perhaps some expectations are coming to bear upon several people involved with USA Rugby’s High Performance plans.
