GRR: Eagle Women
The Rugby World Cup 7s kicks off for the USA Women's National Team on Friday in Cape Town.
Unlike the men's team, which had a short turnaround following the LA Sevens August 27-28, the women have had some time to prepare for what will be a very unforgiving tournament. That preparation included a series of games at Chula Vista with Canada and Brazil.
England defeated the USA 52-14 in the final warmup match for the Eagles in advance of the Women's Rugby World Cup.
USA Women's 15s Head Coach Rob Cain has named his gameday 23 to face Scotland Saturday in Edinburgh.
The game, a Rugby World Cup warmup match for both sides, will be shown live on The Rugby Network and will kick off at 11AM ET on Saturday.
USA Rugby's High Performance programs have enjoyed a bit of an awakening this year, but that's all feeding into a crucial fall.
The USA Women's 15s team will play a warmup test match before the Rugby World Cup, taking on England September 3 at Sandy Park in Exeter, England.
