It was Mixed Play weekend at the RugbyTens in San Juan Capistrano October 18, and in the end we neded up with as tight and dramatic a finish as we;d want.
The USA Men’s Eagles finish up their 2024 with three test matches in Europe, taking on Portugal, Tonga, and Spain.
Head Coach Scott Lawrence has named 30 players for the tour, and also a further 17 who are non-traveling reserves. A further 12 players have been named as those who might have been picked, but are injured or unavailable.
The 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup pools are set after Thursday's draw held in London.
The USA is in one of the toughest pools, quite possibly the most competitive pool, in Pool A. Canada, meanwhile, is nicely-placed to win their pool.
Week Two of the RugbyTens in San Juan Capistrano is in the books and the Serengeti Elephants and Cape Town Wild Dogs are still overall leading.
But they did get upended at least once.
