GRR: Eagle Women
The kicking game and managing the wind are key work-ons for the USA as they prepare for Round 2 of the WXV this weekend in South Africa.
Correspondent Hanno Van Vuuren, who provides professional rugby analysis for a variety of rugby teams in the USA, has some insight into where the Eagles succeeded, and where they didn't.
The USA held off Samoa 36-26 Saturday in the first test of WXV2 held at Stellenbosch in South Africa.
USA Women's 15s Interim Head Coach Milton Haig has announced the 23 players who will kick off the WXV2 tournament in Cape Town against Samoa on Saturday.
The game kicks off Saturday, October 14, at 8 a.m. ET, live on RugbyPass.
As the WXV2 gets set to kick off in South Africa, Meya Bizer is (quietly) celebrating a milestone.
Bizer recently topped 30 caps, a major benchmark for women Eagles and for the former Woodlands HS and Penn State standout, getting there took some doing.
Headed into WXV2, the USA Women’s National Team has been chastened, humbled, and turned every which way.
