GRR: Eagle Men
What’s at stake with the USA vs Canada test match this coming weekend? Plenty.
Rivalry
International rugby returns to US soil after the drama of the Olympics.
The USA Men’s Eagles have confirmed 31 names to the traveling player pool to kick off this month’s Pacific Nations Cup, the programs first venture into the newly reformed global competition.
It’s almost as if there are two test match seasons in 2024.
The upcoming Pacific Nations Cup will look, potentially, quite different from July’s two matches with Romania and Scotland, and in the end that’s to be expected.
Scotland defeated the USA 42-7 Friday night at Audi Field in Washington DC.
The game was played in front of an enthusiastic crowd of 17,418, and they saw a Scottish side that punished USA mistakes, didn’t miss their kicks at goal, and got a little bit of the rub of the green from the guy with the whistle.
