ENGLAND, UK. - USA U20s Head Coach Ricardo Ramirez has named his touring squad for the U20 Women’s Tri Nations Cup taking place July 20-28 at Loughborough University in England.
The USA High School Americans came back from a 40-24 deficit to beat the Canadian U18s 46-43 in dramatic fashion Sunday night on Vancouver Island.
The Americans had won two practice games by 24-7 and 27-7. This game was a little different as Canada blew apart what had been a very tight game (21-19 at halftime) to lead by more than two converted tries with 13 minutes to go.
Two USA HS All American sevens teams took on two Rugby Canada U18 sevens teams in a Can-Am series this week, culminating in the final games on Saturday, July 13.
Played as part of the Great North 7s in Ontario, this tournament was designed to expose almost 50 high school players to top-level competition.
The Boys HS All Americans are cooling off in the chilly waters around Vancouver Island—think the world’s most Orca-dense ice bath—after two solid outings in the team’s assembly in Canada.
