GRR: Rugby World Cup
Nigel Melville has indicated to World Rugby that USA Rugby will shoot to host the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
Melville cited the growth of the game at the youth and collegiate level as indication that there will be a fan base in 12 years. In addition, the United States in nicely positioned in terms of depth of sports venues and hotel capacity to host a major tournament.
So the USA Rugby World Cup comes down to Japan, as it so often does.
Japan wants to go 3-1 and get at least a shot at a quarterfinal place. The Eagles just want to win a game.
“It’s pretty important,” said USA captain and fullback Chris Wyles. “We came into this World Cup with pretty high expectations of ourselves so this is a defining game for us."
GLOUCESTER, UK (USA Rugby Release, edited) – USA Men's 15s Head Coach Mike Tolkin has named his lineup to face Japan on Sunday, with the roster almost unchanged from the team that faced Samoa and Scotland earlier in the World Cup.
