World Cup Squad Unveiled as Eagle Women Prepare for Fiji
The USA Women's World Cup squad was unveiled at a swanky event in downtown Washington DC Thursday night.
The Golden Gala brought well-known rugby personalities and some well-heeled rugby-lovers together to have a bit of a celebration of USA Rugby's 50th Anniversary, and announce the World Cup team.
There is video below.
Here's the squad:
Help the USA Women at the Rugby World Cup
As the USA Women's National Team gets ready to assemble for the World Cup there is some serious movement afoot to make it financially easier for them to represent the USA.
Eagle Women Lose to New Zealand; What Does That Expose?
The USA women lost 79-14 to New Zealand and now are 0-4 for 2025.
Overall, that's not a massive disaster. Yes they should have beaten Japan, and if they had played better but within their ability parameters, they could have beaten Australia. They competed in a number of levels against Canada but the Canadians were certainly a better team.
Plucky Again but Eagle Women Fall to Australia
The USA Women's Eagles were pipped 27-19 by Australia's Wallaroos at GIO Stadium in Canberra Saturday, moving the USA to 0-2 in Pacific Four Series.
Despite a huge game by prop Hope Rogers, who scored three tries, the Eagles couldn't pull out a victory.
Lessons from Last Game Need to be Learned for USA v Australia
Early Saturday morning, at 2:55AM ET, the USA women will take on Australia in a crucial Pacific Four game.
The Eagles have already lost to Canada (and were a shade unlucky) and Australia has already lost to New Zealand (and were a shade unlucky), and it's likely that this game will decide which of these two teams will advance to the WXV 1 later in the year.
