The USA Girls U18s and U20s will have a busy summer of action, USA Rugby has announced.
The U18s will play in a festival of shortened matches in Wales in late July, facing off with Netherlands, Scotland, and Wales. The final USA vs Wales match on Saturday, July 27th. The final USA vs Wales match will be a full 70-minute affair and will be broadcast live on RugbyPass TV.
Now that the USA U20 men have won their series with Canada they look ahead to the World Rugby Trophy in Scotland.
The goal, of course, is to win the Trophy and qualify to make the U20 World Championships in 2025. but perhaps another goal might be to exceed last year’s frustrating 7th place, a tournament where they lost two games by less than a penalty goal.
The USA U20s were better than Canada U20s in almost every aspect (aside from the scrums) in winning the second game of the two-match World Rugby Trophy series 41-21.
