GRR: Rugby Americas North
The Rugby Americas North Men's U19 championship has released its schedule for the tournament in Quéretaro, Mexico.
The tournament, which will run July 9-12, will be shown live on RugbyPass.tv.
The USA Men's U19 team that is going to the RAN Men's U19s has been confirmed.
World Rugby will not be holding a World Rugby Trophy this year, and will instead implement plans to expand the U20 World Championship for 2026.
What that does, however, is leave a bunch of national U20 programs without a specific competition and, crucially, a funded competition.
The USA South Panthers U19s defeated Bermuda U19s 27-14 to win the Rugby Americas North U19 championship for the third year in a row.
Backed by an outstanding defense, the Panthers went 5-0, and it was only in the final that they actually allowed any tries. They wrapped up the tournament scoring 144 points and allowing 26.
Trinidad & Tobago beat Mexico 32-17 for 3rd.
The USA South team at the RAN U19s is happy with the start of the tournament—two wins and no tries allowed—but there is work to do.
