GRR: World Rugby U20 Trophy
Spain’s U20s defeated the USA U20s 18-16 in a tough, defense-minded game.
The USA team had ample opportunities to score with the lion’s share of possession, especially in the first half, but didn’t play with much cohesion and couldn’t get the offloads they wanted.
We asked USA U20 coach some questions about what the players were doing in their off times in Zimbabwe, and our first question was this: Does everyone have a pet Zebra?
Stephenson, understanding of course that we’re just having fun, answered in kind: Yes, everyone has a pet Zebra!
With their 32-12 defeat of Hong Kong and Spain’s 40-22 defeat of Namibia, the USA U20s are in good position to take 1st Pool B of the World Rugby U20 Trophy.
Paced by two tries from captain Hanco Germishuys, the USA U20s came away with a 32-12 victory over Hong Kong at the World Rugby U20 Trophy Saturday in Harare, Zimbabwe.
HARARE, Zimbabwe - The AIG Men's Junior All-Americans dropped their first match at the 2016 World Rugby U20 Trophy Tuesday, losing to Namibia 46-44-39 on a late try.
It was clearly not a match where the defenses were operating well, and as the game wore on the tries came thicker and faster.
