GRR: USA Women
Scotland defeated the USA 24-14 in Friday’s WXV match, overcoming the Americans having the lion’s share of the possession, especially in the second half.
Canada defeated the USA in the opening game of the Pacific Four Series in Tauranga, New Zealand, playing just a little bit more of a unified game against the Eagles.
The 36-5 scoreline was pretty indicative of how the run of play went. The USA had few scoring opportunities and when they had the ball, struggled to keep it in the rain.
The Super Series kicked off today in Canada, and the USA Women and England initiated the three-round series. After ending the first half with a Jess Wooden try to close in 22-10, England pulled away in the final 40 for the 39-13 win.
