GRR: USA U20s
The USA Men's U20s are set to face off with Canada in a two-game series in June.
The series, played June 6 and June 10 in Spartanburg, SC, will be the qualifier series for the World Rugby Trophy.
At the WRCRA Conference in Virginia Martha Daines, the USA Rugby Women’s High Performance Pathways Manager, was one of eight to receive a lifetime achievement award, but to talk to her what you hear is about the future, not the past.
Scrutiny, pressure, and perhaps some expectations are coming to bear upon several people involved with USA Rugby’s High Performance plans.
The USA Men’s High Performance Pathway is holding its finally talent ID assembly this week.
Both the Men's and Women's HP Pathway systems have much work to do as USA Rugby looks ahead to the 2024 and 2028 Olympics, the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup, and the 2027 Men's Rugby World Cup.
The USA Women's age-grade teams return from Canada 0-4 and perhaps a little bit humbled, but certainly the teams showed improvement over their series with two of the Great White North's best women's collegiate programs.
