The USA U20s will face off with Zimbabwe at 1AM 3AM  Tuesday morning, July 25 in the final pool round of the World Rugby Trophy.

The Junior Eagles are 0-2 after a close loss from Uruguay and a 40-13 loss to Scotland in which they led late in the first half.

While the USA won't be able to win the tournament—Tuesday's clash between Uruguay and Scotland will decide who makes the final from Pool A and the winner of Spain vs Samoa will decide the finalist from Pool B.

There will be one more game for everyone, however. The USA's target will be 5th. If they can beat Zimbabwe then they will meet the winner of Hong Kong and hosts Kenya in the playoff for 5th.
