GRR: National Teams
The Boys HS All Americans has lost 26-5 to Portugal in the European U18 Championships.
The HSAA team will now play for 5th in the consolation brackt. The American team looks like a group that had just come together, which is indeed the case, and especially their passing and alignments in the backline were disjointed, resulting in a lot of dropped balls, and passes to no one.
The Boys HS All Americans are getting set to kick off U18 European Championships Friday in Brittany, France.
Can the Eagles make a move?
Well, they can try, but really the next few World Series tournaments are about holding steady.
The United States sits 5th in the World Series, which is a pretty nice place to be. But they are 17 points out of 4th, and 33 points out of 3rd.
How hard will it be to move up? Well, think of this way:
After losing to Canada 39-5 on Tuesday, a young USA Women’s national team will take on Canada for a second time Saturday at Chula Vista.
This game will kick off at 6pm ET, 3pm PT, and will be broadcast on The Rugby Channel behind the pay wall.
USA and Canada is set for a Saturday afternoon women's 15s test match at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center.
The game will kick off at 3pm PT, and will be an hugely valuable warmup for the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup in Ireland.
