GRR: Rugby World Cup
Chile has qualified for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France and the USA will have one more shot to get there with the final qualifier tournament in November.
The Eagles squandered a commanding 19-0 lead Saturday in Glendale, eventually losing to the Condors 31-29, and thus losing the aggregate score 52-51.
USA Men's 15s Head Coach Gary Gold has named his side to face Chile in the second leg of the two-game Rugby World Cup Qualifier series with the Condors.
For the last two-and-a-half days the USA Men's 15s team has been hard at work preparing for Saturday's second World Cup Qualifier game with Chile.
Thursday will be a day off and Friday will be the captain's run, so these last few days has been where much of the work, video analysis, classroom time, and time on the field, has been done.
Well, you knew it wasn't going to be easy, and pretty much everything went against the USA Saturday night in Santiago; and yet the Eagles will leave Chile up by a point and in position to win their Rugby World Cup qualifier series when the teams meet against next week in Glendale.
The USA Men's 15s team has been picked to take on Chile Saturday at Estadio Santa Laura in Santiago.
This is the first of a two-game Rugby World Cup qualifier. The game kicks off at 6PM ET and will be shown live by FloRugby—go here to sign up for FloRugby to watch>>
