GRR: Eagle Women
DUBLIN, IRE (World Rugby/USA Rugby Release) - World Rugby today confirmed the Pacific Four Series will return in 2024 between April 27 and May 25 across three host nations. With matches taking place in Australia, New Zealand and USA, the USA Women’s Eagles will return home for the opening match against Canada, the first test match on US soil since the Pacific Four Series in 2021.
GLENDALE, Colo. (USA Rugby Press Release)– Continuing to build structure and foundation for the USA Rugby National Teams and High Performance Pathways, USA Rugby today announced the appointment of Brandon Sparks as Head of Women’s High Performance, a role responsible for oversight and development of the Women’s XVs and Sevens programs.
USA Rugby has hired former Australia Assistant Coach Sione Fukofuka as Had Coach of the USA Women's 15s Head Coach.
Over 90 candidates applied for this job.
The USA has ended the WXV 1-2 after a 30-8 loss to Italy in the final game.
That game had its own drama as Italy needed to win by 25 or more to win the WXV 2 trophy. They were held out by some dogged defense by the Eagles, allowing Scotland to celebrate their tournament victory.
On the way to getting back to the upper echelon the USA Women’s National 15s team faces a difficult opponent Saturday in the person of Italy.
What they want to do is show they’ve taken strides since the last time played (and lost to) Italy, which was 2022.
