USA vs Canada tonight in Ottawa is an important Rugby World Cup buildup game for both teams, but there’s more to it than that.
These two teams have a long and interesting rivalry. Years ago it was heavily in the USA’s favor, but it has not been that way the last 20 years, with Canada shooting past the USA to lead the series 28-19.
After defeating Fiji in a too-close-for-comfort test match July 19, the USA played against the same Fijian team in a scrimmage on the campus of Mount St. Mary's University in front of a boisterous crowd that responded at short notice.
That scrimmage ended with a USA win once more, and at 48-34 it was, once again, too close for comfort.
The USA and Canada women's national teams have named their squads to face each other at 7PM ET on Friday, July 26 at TD Place in Ottawa.

USA Eagle and 2017 Rudy Scholz Award-winner Bryce Campbell has announced that he is retiring from professional rugby.
After an accomplished international and Major League Rugby (MLR) career, Campbell will return to his hometown of Indianapolis to take the helm at Kuntz Stadium with an ambitious vision: to make the city a national hub for rugby.
USA Rugby CEO Bill Gorne announced today that USA Rugby's dues will increase.
With some big events on US soil on the horizon, starting with the PNC test matches and extending to the 2028 Olympics and 2031 and 2033 Rugby World Cups, Goren said the organization needs to put more effort into spreading the love of the game.
