GRR: USA U20s
The USA Men’s High Performance Pathway is holding its finally talent ID assembly this week.
Both the Men's and Women's HP Pathway systems have much work to do as USA Rugby looks ahead to the 2024 and 2028 Olympics, the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup, and the 2027 Men's Rugby World Cup.
The USA Women's age-grade teams return from Canada 0-4 and perhaps a little bit humbled, but certainly the teams showed improvement over their series with two of the Great White North's best women's collegiate programs.
The USA U18s won the Corendon Summer Tour U18 bracket with a 47-20 defeat of Belgium U18s.
The USA U20s beat a tough Netherlands team 31-27 to go 3-0 and win the U20 bracket in Amsterdam. Tia'i Vavao was named MVP of the tournament.
The USA U23s lost to Delta 22-16 in a game that, based on previous scores, would have been expected to be much more lopsided.
OTTAWA, ON – The USA Women's U20s and U23s are set to play Queen's University of Kingston, Ont., and the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees in a two-day series starting Sunday.
The USA U20 men have named their squad to face the Netherlands in what is essentially the Corendon Summer Tour championship game for this age group.
Both teams are 2-0 and both have shown plenty of ability. The USA U20 team has been explosive in attack and logged over 50 points on both of their games.
