Canada beat the USA Eagles for the second week in succession as they came away from Infinity Park in Colorado with an impressive 27-7 victory on Saturday.
We’re getting closer to rugby world cup kick off time, so while there’s lots of frantic dev work and planning going on behind the scenes with RD, we’re also aiming to keep you updated on what’s going on around the world of rugby.
A few of the weekend’s matches were covered yesterday, but there’s still some not touched on, with this being one of them, as rivals Canada and the USA met in Colorado for the second of their warm-up matches. Canada won the first game
28-22 in Toronto

Canada had a few men sent from the field temporarily in the first half, but remained on top having scored some nice tries and ultimately, they took advantage of the US errors. The home side came close following a brilliant break from Biarritz’s Zee Ngwenya, but they were held up over the line as Louis Stanfill ran it in.
“Obviously we’re very disappointed with the result. It was frustrating as we played a lot of good rugby, we dominated field position and possession, but once again like last week we let in three tries from long range turnovers,” said Eagles coach Eddie O’Sullivan.
“We got punished harshly, as a lot of times when we turned the ball over we had Canada in trouble. So those were big plays that went against us. Our continuity is good, we’re playing through a lot of phases. But we’re not being clinical enough, turning over the ball at crucial times. It’s something we need to fix before we get to New Zealand,” he added.
The USA next face Japan in Tokyo, while Canada will travel to Australia.
