GRR: Rugby Americas North
The USA South Panthers U19s defeated Bermuda U19s 27-14 to win the Rugby Americas North U19 championship for the third year in a row.
Backed by an outstanding defense, the Panthers went 5-0, and it was only in the final that they actually allowed any tries. They wrapped up the tournament scoring 144 points and allowing 26.
Trinidad & Tobago beat Mexico 32-17 for 3rd.
The USA South team at the RAN U19s is happy with the start of the tournament—two wins and no tries allowed—but there is work to do.
Two Wins for USA South U19s at RAN Tournament Day 1
USA Rugby South opened up their Rugby Americas North U19 account with two victories Wednesday.
The RAN U19 championships is played among national teams from North America and the Caribbean. Canada does not send a team, and the USA would basically win so comfortably as to make participation a negative for everyone involved.
The USA Rugby South Panther Academy will once again be representing USA Rugby at the Rugby Americas North 2024 RAN Men’s U19 International tournament.
The tournament will run from July 7 to July 14. The 2024 edition of this World Rugby International event will be hosted by Rugby Mexico at the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico Harp Held grounds in Mexico City.
The USA Men's 7s team has qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after beating Canada 24-14 Sunday afternoon in Langford, BC.
The Eagles overcame a couple of big mistakes that helped Canada to their tries, but paced by the brilliance and leadership of captain Kevon Williams and plenty of hard work they were able to get home with the win in front of a vocally pro-Canada crowd.
