GRR: Eagle Men
Two USA U20 players have been brought into camp with the senior men's national team in Florida.
CHICAGO – USA Rugby and TLA Worldwide announced the greatest stars in professional rugby will again return to Chicago, IL for “The Rugby Weekend” on Friday, November 4th and Saturday, November 5th for two separate, yet both spectacular, international rugby matches.
One of the many question-marks on the Men’s USA National Team was lock forward; forced to bring in untested players, Head Coach John Mitchell may have hit upon some answers.
The USA defeated Canada 30-22 in the Americas Rugby Championship Saturday night just outside of Austin, Texas.
The Eagles put aside a series of set-piece errors and penal tie that saw them behind in the first half, and exploded for 20 points in the second half, including three tries from flanker and captain Todd Clever.
Both the USA and Canada will field markedly inexperienced national teams Saturday in Austin, although the USA team is slightly less experienced.
