GRR: USA U20s
There’s some serious business afoot as the USA U20 men’s team look to 2017.
USA Rugby has named the list of players to attend two different camps to scout players for the Men's Junior All Americans (the USA U20 team).
The West Evaluation Camp is heavy on high school players from California, with the Danville Oaks, naturally, producing several athletes. The Central Evaluarion Camp drawas from all over the country, with a lightly more college-heavy group.
The USA Men's Under 20 program will hold evaluation camps starting in early December as Head Coach JD Stephenson works toward picking the team to play in the World Rugby U20 Trohpy Qualifier in June.
While several of the players from last year are expected to push for a return sport, but, as is the nature of the age-grade game, there will be plenty of holes to fill.
Among the players off to Queensland with the Men’s Collegiate All Americans is UCLA captain Niall Barry.
HARARE, Zimbabwe - The USA U20s finished 5th at the World Rugby U20 Trophy with a 2-2 record after coming from behind to beat Uruguay 32-30 in extra time Sunday.
Disappointed to have lost a must-win game against Spain that would have seen the Junior All Americans win the pool, the U20s instead took 3rd in their pool and had to be content with a fight for 5th.
