GRR: USA Rugby South
Many of the players on the USA Rugby South team playing in the NACRA U19 15s remember last year.
In the 2014 tournament, a 15-10 loss to Mexico in the semis relegated the Panthers to the 3rd/4th game, where they won 32-10. That was a nice ending, but that loss in the semis stuck with them.
The USA Rugby South U19s may not be a national team, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t representing their country.
The USA Rugby South B team lost 20-8 to Cayman Islands in the NACRA U19 Consolation semis Wednesday in Orlando, putting them in the 7th/8th game on Friday against Bermuda.
USA South A is into the final of the NACRA U19 15s Championships after defeating Barbados 32-7 on Tuesday in Orlando.
In a game delayed by lightning, the South took a 6-0 lead early on thanks to some concerted pressure and two penalty kicks from Arkansas State flyhalf Dylan Boast.
The North American Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) U19 Boys 15s championships kicked off Saturday in Orlando with two first-round games.
