The USA U20 Men get ready to meet Uruguay Saturday in the World Rugby U20 Trophy.
This is their fourth meeting on the World Rugby U20 Championship stage but the first in a pool match since 2011. USA have won the last two encounters but both matches were close, winning by a point and two points respectively.
In a game that perhaps ended predictably but was a shocking turnabout for about 60 minutes, the USA Women's 15s team lost 39-17 to the New Zealand Black Ferns.
The USA U18s will be looking to pick themselves up after a tie they feel they should have won.
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.
Alex Goff sat down with Ray Lehner, who was recently inducted in Cal's Athletic Hall of Fame.
An All American at Cal as a prop, and later an Oxford Blue, Lehner played 37 times for the USA over six years.
A smart, articulate man, Lehner teaches at Bishop O'Dowd in Northern California and also coaches rugby and football.
