The USA Men's U20s head into their second fixture of a two-match series on Saturday against Canada, looking to earn qualification to the 2023 World Rugby U20s Trophy in Kenya next month.
Following a 43-21 win over the Canadians in the first match on Tuesday, Head Coach Kyle Sumsion has selected his match day 23 with a few roster changes.
The final match kicks off Saturday, June 10 at 6:00PM ET with FREE live coverage on FloRugby Facebook and YouTube. A live stream will simultaneously be available to subscribers on the FloRugby App. Tickets are still available to match, starting as low as $20.
"There is some room for improvement for us from game one, looking at our first half to second half. We want to get back to playing our style of rugby on both sides, getting a bit more territory, making sure we look after the ball and control possession on our terms. The focus in between match days has been getting our bodies right, getting some activation and movement to make the corrections we need to make."
