Uruguay's U20s held on to defeat the USA U20s 33-31 in Round 1 of the World Rugby U20 Trophy Saturday thanks to a powerful combination of scrum, maul, defense, and kicking.
It was overall an impressive showing by the USA but too many errors, notably penalties in their own half, led to their demise.
The World Rugby U20 Trophy kicks off Saturday with four games on the slate.
The USA, after beating Canada in convincing fashion, is back in this competition and will take on a very tough Uruguay side in the first game of Pool Play.
Coming off a dominant showing in the U20 World Rugby Trophy qualifiers with Canada, the USA U20 men have every right to feel confident, but there's more work to be done.
The North American qualifier series for the World Rugby Trophy kicks off at this evening at 6pm ET as USA U20s play Canada U20s in Spartanburg, SC.
