GRR: Eagle Women
Saturday's test match against France will be a test of resilience and perhaps leadership.
The USA women take on France in WXV 1
Vancouver, BC (USA Rugby Release)—The USA Women’s Eagles prep continues into the second week of WXV 1, as the team prepares to meet France on the pitch. Head Coach Sione Fukofuka announced today the match day 23 roster. USA v France kicks off 3:30pm ET Saturday, October 5, live on RugbyPass TV.
England defeated the USA 61-21 Sunday in Vancouver in the opening game of thw WXV 1, but it was a game in which the Eagles took a few steps forward in their progression.
Will the Eagle women take a few risks against England Sunday? Quite possible.
The WXV 1 is a tough series of games for the USA women, but there are some serious positives to take out of it regardless of results.
First off, they qualified for this event, rather than WXV 2, and that’s a step forward.
