There are two major blocks of action this weekend that involve the top layers of U.S. women’s rugby. The USA Women’s National Team will play Japan on Saturday, and RugbyPassTV will have the livestream and replay, and the Women’s Premier League will hold its penultimate round of regular-season ball. The top-four teams have already been decided, so they’ll be jockeying for position in the standings, which will determine the Sept. 7 semifinal matches. TRB is excited to attend the first round of the Legacy Cup in Madison, Wis., and will follow with previews. Also check out the New England Free Jacks Academy, which is in Canada for a 15s match against the Quebec U18s.
