GRR: Eagle Men
The USA men's national 15s team has qualified for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia after a 29-13 defeat of Samoa Sunday afternoon at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Denver.
The USA kicks off against Samoa in Denver at 2:30 PM ET in what will decide who is 5th in the Pacific Nations Cup, and, more importantly, is a World Cup 2027 Qualifier.
For USA Head Coach Scott Lawrence, the importance of the game is more about it being the next game, not how big a game it is.

The USA men put together an improved performance in their second pool game in the Pacific Nations Cup, and while Japan won the game, there were some steps forward for the Eagles.
Japan was expected to be fast and to offload well and to be difficult in the kicking game. Most of that came to pass, although the USA kicking game seemed much improved Saturday in Sacramento.
