GRR: USA U20s
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.
The USA age grade teams will open their Corendon Summer Tour Saturday.
The U18s will play the Netherlands.
(USA Rugby Release)—USA Rugby Pathways has named USA Women’s U20 and U23 Junior National Teams to travel to the University of Ottawa for July 13-20 to face the Ottawa Gee-Gees and the Queen’s Gaels varsity teams in the Garnet and Gold Classic.
Perhaps the most mixed-up of the USA age-grade teams going to the Netherlands next week is the U20s.
Straddling the line between high school and college, the team has to be made into a unified whole using players of quite varied backgrounds and rugby experiences.
The USA Men’s U18, U20 and U23 squads are inbound to Amsterdam this week to compete in the Corendon Summer Tour against other international sides.
