The USA U20s will have to play Namibia, Hong Kong, and Spain in their pool of the World Rugby U20 Trophy.
Nate Ebner has re-signed with the New England Patriots, but as part of that deal, he will be taking a break from the NFL team to try to make the USA Olympic rugby team.
Coming out of a 3-3 performance in Vancouver, USA 7s team Head Coach Mike Friday seemed relatively at ease.

Samoa beat the USA 31-19 in the Plate Final at the Canada 7s in Vancouver.
In the end, the Samoans played a very good form of defense, pushing the USA team back, and slowing the ball down in the breakdown.
As a result, little turnovers became big problems for a starting seven that had put everything not the weekend’s effort.
