USA Kicks Off Rugby World Cup Camp

On Aug. 1, the USA Rugby Women’s National Team kicked off its Rugby World Cup (RWC) pre-season camp at Life University in Marietta, Ga. At the conclusion of residency, selections will be made for two warm-up tests in the United Kingdom. The USA delegation will then report to New Zealand for the RWC, which occurs Oct. 8-Nov. 12.

There are currently 36 players in Marietta, Ga., and the majority featured in the June Pacific Four series in New Zealand. Some players, who had other playing commitments at the time, are now back on the training pitch with their fellow Eagles.

The camp will then feed into an Aug. 27 test against Scotland at DAM Health Stadium in Edinburgh, followed by a Sept. 3 match against England at Exeter’s Sandy Park. When the Eagles report to New Zealand, they’ll compete in Pool B and face against Italy (Oct. 8), Japan (Oct. 15) and Canada (Oct. 22).
