GRR: USA U20s
The USA U20 team that is off to Harare, Zimbabwe is little changed from the one that defeated Canada in January to qualify, and Head Coach JD Stephenson is fine with that.
The Junior All Americans did, after all, beat the Canadians, and Canada finished 2nd in the tournament in 2015, and so the simple act of qualifying indicates that the USA team has a good shot at doing well.
ST. CHARLES, Mo. (USA Rugby Release) – USA Rugby's AIG Men’s Junior All-American Head Coach JD Stephenson has selected a travel squad of 26 athletes for the upcoming World Rugby U20 Trophy in Zimbabwe.
The USA U20s will have to play Namibia, Hong Kong, and Spain in their pool of the World Rugby U20 Trophy.
In Show #163 of RuggaMatrix America, Alex Goff, Bruce McLane, and Pat Clifton talk about one of the USA national teams' best period of weeks, with the U20s winning and the Eagle men winning, too.
JD Stephenson did, by all accounts, a remarkable job in getting the USA U20 team ready to play Canada.
Never mind that the Junior All Americans won the game, just think on the fact that had Ben Cima’s final kick not made it over, it would still have been 18-16, and a very close contest.
