GRR: National Teams
The USA age=grade teams are going to be active this year despite World Rugby's drawback from U20 action.
World Rugby is reportedly coming back with a new-look U20 world competition for 2026. As it is, this year, there's nothing, so USA rugby is focusing in part on a U19 team that can be developed for U20 competition a year later.
In front of a vocal and, apparently, record crowd the USA women's 15s team dropped a 39-33 decision to Japan Saturday night on the campus of UCLA.
The Eagles will rue some key errors, especially in set piece, in this game.
The USA Women's National 15s team has confirmed its lineup to face Japan Saturday night at Wallis Annenberg Stadium on the UCLA Campus.
Let's be blunt: improvement and success for the USA Women's National 15s team relies on more players emulating their captain.
It’s test match time now for the USA women’s national 15s team and, indeed, test matches building toward a World Cup.
So there’s little time to ease into things even with two weeks of preparation going on right now. The Eagles have Japan to face and then Canada and Fiji before Sione Fukofuka finalizes his World Cup squad.
