With the USA U20 winter camp done, and with three games against the Men’s Collegiate All Americans in the books, it’s time to look ahead to the next job, which is a two-game qualification series with the Canada in June.
USA Rugby has named the list of players to attend two different camps to scout players for the Men's Junior All Americans (the USA U20 team).
The West Evaluation Camp is heavy on high school players from California, with the Danville Oaks, naturally, producing several athletes. The Central Evaluarion Camp drawas from all over the country, with a lightly more college-heavy group.
The USA Men's Under 20 program will hold evaluation camps starting in early December as Head Coach JD Stephenson works toward picking the team to play in the World Rugby U20 Trohpy Qualifier in June.
While several of the players from last year are expected to push for a return sport, but, as is the nature of the age-grade game, there will be plenty of holes to fill.
