Tense Test Match Sees USA Women Hold On
The USA women have made it two wins out of two in the British Isles with a tense, sometimes fractious 26-24 victory over Wales in Cardiff.
This follows on to their comeback win over Ireland last week.
The Eagles, who seems to be on a bit of an upswing since the arrival of Head Coach Jack Hanratty, are now 4-3 on the year and have won three in a row.
A Couple of Meaningful Changes as USA Women Get Set to Face Wales
The USA Women's National Team is back in the WXV competition with Saturday's test match against a rapidly improving Wales in Cardiff.
The Eagles kick off at 10AM ET on Saturday and the game will be live on Paramount+.
Astonishing Comeback for USA Women
In one of the most stirring comebacks in the history of the women's Eagles, the USA came back from a 31-12 deficit to beat Ireland in Dublin 40-36.
The Eagles didn't look bad, per se, in the first half, but they looked outmatched. Ireland was playing faster and smarter and torched the USA on quick passing and taking the ball at pace.
Late try Stumies USA vs Canada
Canada's ability to keep the ball and use that continuity as a defensive tool helped see them through to a 19-16 victory over the USA Saturday in Tokyo.
As a result, Canada takes 3rd in the Pacific Nations Cup and the USA 4th. Jesse Kilgour’s first international try clinched the game for the Canadians, who have an outstanding record against the USA in neutral-site matches.
USA Women Set Sights on Ireland
The WXV Global Series kicks off for the USA Sunday in Dublin with the 8th-ranked Eagles taking on 5th-ranked Ireland.
This is the next step in a series of difficult challenges for the USA team, which, by the end of 2026 will have seen them play 10 test matches, including six against teams ranked in the top six by World Rugby.
