GRR: National Teams
Australia put the USA to the sword 58-17 in the women's Pacific Four Series test match in Ottawa.
Playing an entertaining and wide open brand of rugby, the USA U20 women defeated Canada's U20s 40-24 Saturday in Ottawa.
Played at the same stadium where the Pacific Four senior women's games will be played, this game provided some fireworks from both sides, and was anyone's game until late in the second half.
The USA Boys U18s defeated Belgium U18s 43-26 Saturday in the opening game of the 2023 Corendon Summer Tour.
Granite Bay wing Thomas Koi scored two tries for the USA team and so did West Houston Lions hooker Seth Smith. Padraig Long, Jake Schumacher, and George Hemmen added tries, with captain and flyhalf Jonty Lee converting four.
In what has been a busy summer for USA national teams, the Boys U18s kick off their second visit to the Corendon Summer Tour in the Netherlands.
The U18s will play Belgium at 7AM Eastern Time (Netherlands is six hours ahead). Netherlands will play Canada three-and-a-half hours later.
Add two more fixtures to the summer list of national team games, as the USA U23 Women will play Canada in a two-match Border Battle hosted by the New England Free Jacks Major League Rugby team.
The games will be held July 26 (7PMET) and July 30 (Noon ET) at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Quincy, Mass., where the Free Jacks play.
