GRR: National Teams
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.
The beginning of the USA Women's National 15s team's 2025 campaign, a Rugby World Cup year, is around the corner and there's some interesting news.
The Eagles will play Japan at Wallis Annenberg Stadium at UCLA on April 26. That game is expected to sell out in what is a relatively small stadium.
World Rugby will not be holding a World Rugby Trophy this year, and will instead implement plans to expand the U20 World Championship for 2026.
What that does, however, is leave a bunch of national U20 programs without a specific competition and, crucially, a funded competition.
