GRR: Canada
Canada has named their squad to face the USA in this weekend's Pool B match.
This is the third game in RWC 2021 (for clarity, the Women's Rugby World Cup played in 2022).
Quick update from the Corendon Summer Tour in Amsterdam.
The USA U18s beat the Netherlands U18s 31-23. In a high-paced game the USA team, still having just assembled a few days ago, were facing a Netherlands team that had spent more time as a unit. The Dutch were also big and physical, but the Americans got stuck in and took the game.
Canada defeated the USA 26-13 Friday night at Infinity Park, overcoming an early USA try and a late red card to win the series with the Eagles 2-0.
The USA came very close to scoring more than the one try, getting bundled into touch, getting turned over, and dropping the ball all within five meters of the tryline.
USA Women's 15s Head Coach Rob Cain has made 12 changes to his lineup as the Eagles face Canada for the second time in five days.
The game will be played Friday Nov 5 at Infinity Park in Glendale, Colo. Kickoff is at 6PM MT, 8PM ET. Live stream is here>>
Canada beat the USA 15-9 Monday night in the first women's test match for either team since 2019.
