What’s at stake with the USA vs Canada test match this coming weekend? Plenty.
Rivalry
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.
USA Rugby and AEG Rugby have announced that the USA Men’s Eagles will also host Canada at Dignity Health Sports Park August 31 as kickoff to the 2024 Pacific Nations Cup.
World Rugby initially announced the return of a re-imagined Pacific Nations Cup in October, confirming annual competition for the USA Men’s National Team along with Canada, Japan, Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga.
World Rugby has confirmed the formation of a new competition for teams in the Pacific.
This new competition is familiar to those who know their rugby history as it is the same as the latter iteration of the old Pacific Rim championship, which ran from 1996 to 2001.
