GRR: Women Rugby World Cup
The USA Women's 15s team lost 32-11 to Canada in the Women's Rugby World Cup quarterfinals and end their tournament tied for 5th with a 1-3 record.
Once again points were hard to come by. The Eagles recycled well and worked hard, but their offensive plan did not create line breaks the way other teams, including Canada, were able to do.
USA coach Rob Cain has named his team for the Rugby World Cup 2021 quarterfinal against Canada at Waitakere Stadium on 30 October (11:30PM ET October 29 for fans in the USA).
Can the USA make adjustments to beat Canada in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals?
Certainly they weren't out of the game, and the weird referee non-calls aside, the Eagles showed they could retain ball, make ground, and score tries.
Canada has defeated the USA 29-14 in the Women's Rugby World Cup, but both have more rugby to give.
The Eagles put in quite a brave performance and while they were led by their stars, Kate Zackary, Alev Kelter, and Hope Rogers, there were moments for others, too.
Canada has named their squad to face the USA in this weekend's Pool B match.
This is the third game in RWC 2021 (for clarity, the Women's Rugby World Cup played in 2022).
