GRR: Americas Rugby Championship
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (USA Rugby Release) – Men's Eagles Head Coach John Mitchell will continue the trend of awarding caps in the team's final home match of the inaugural Americas Rugby Championship Saturday, Feb. 20, when Chile visits Lockhart Stadium.
Next up for the USA Men’s 15s team, Chile.
Having survived the two toughest opponents of the Americas Rugby Championship with eight points out of a possible ten, the Eagles now look to get victories against Chile in Fort Lauderdale, and on the road against Uruguay and Brazil to perhaps, if they get a little help, win the tournament.
The USA defeated Canada 30-22 in the Americas Rugby Championship Saturday night just outside of Austin, Texas.
The Eagles put aside a series of set-piece errors and penal tie that saw them behind in the first half, and exploded for 20 points in the second half, including three tries from flanker and captain Todd Clever.
Both the USA and Canada will field markedly inexperienced national teams Saturday in Austin, although the USA team is slightly less experienced.
ROUND ROCK, Texas – Men's Eagles Head Coach John Mitchell has named Todd Clever captain of the team to take on Canada in the second Americas Rugby Championship match Saturday, Feb. 13, at Dell Diamond.
