USA Men’s Eagles Head Coach Scott Lawrence has made several changes to the lineup as the USA faces Scotland Friday night in Washington DC.
The game, part of the 2024 American Series presented by USA Rugby and AEG Rugby, kicks off at 6:30PM and will be live on FloRugby.
The USA U28s are set to face a Buenos Aires Academy side Wednesday in Argentina.
The tourists are coming off short-game losses to Chile U18s and Uruguay U18s in a round-robin event last week.
This is the lineup:
The word of caution is that the USA U20 men have not arrived; there is still work to do.
Yes the Junior Eagles beat Netherlands; yes they beat Uruguay; yes their next opponent, Kenya, is 0-2; all of that is true. But expecting the Kenya game to be a foregone conclusion isn't smart.
The USA U20 men pulled off something of an upset with a 32-15 defeat of Uruguay at the World Rugby U20 Trophy Sunday in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The USA U18s lost both of their round-robin games today in Uruguay.
The U18s faced Chile in their opening shortened game today, losing 34-7 to a very speedy Condors side.
They USA U18s then fielded a different 15 against Uruguay and battled hard but lost 20-10, hurt by a couple of yellow cards. Chile played much faster rugby, while Uruguay was physically imposing.
