USA Men’s Eagles Head Coach Gary Gold has named 30 players to the traveling roster for the Summer Series and Rugby World Cup Qualifiers this July. The USA Men’s National Team XVs kick off this summer with a match against the French Barbarians in Houston on July 1st, before traveling to Santiago for the first of a home-and-away series against Chile to compete for Rugby World Cup 2023 qualification.
The squad named is the result of Gold and the Men’s Eagles coaching staff visiting and scouting MLR clubs over the past few months, and hosting a two-day alignment camp in early May. “Players will enter camp in Houston through a staggered entry as many continue to compete with their respective MLR, Premiership and Top 14 club competitions, with the full 30-man roster in assembly by week of the French Barbarians match.”
Tickets are now available to the upcoming home matches in Houston, TX and Glendale, CO via usa.rugby/tickets and all summer series matches will be streaming LIVE on FloRugby.
