It's going to be a tough pool for the USA at the Junior World Championships, but that's the idea.

Spencer Huntley is the captain and he is working with a strong leadership group, said Head Coach Neets Gericke.

Leading up to Saturday's match with Argentina, the Junior Eagles have been hard at work, including a challenging scrimmage earlier during their assembly in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.

Saturday's matches are as follows:
USA vs Argentina 5AM ET
Italy vs Scotland 5AM ET
England vs Ireland 730AM ET
New Zealand vs Japan 730AM ET
Wales vs Georgia 10AM ET
France vs Fiji 10AM ET
South Africa vs Uruguay 1230PM ET
Australia vs Spain 1230PM ET
