After defeating the Canada Under-20s 27-22 on Wednesday in the first of a two-match series, the USA Rugby Junior All-Americans will face their northern rivals again at Bear Mountain Stadium in Langford tonight (Saturday May 26).
Today’s game will kickoff at 8 p.m. MDT and will be webcast live on Sportscanada.tv.
The game will serve as a final tune up before the teams head to Salt Lake City for the 2012 Junior World Rugby Trophy from June 18-30.
A hat trick from Kingsley McGowan in the opening match helped notch a win in the series opener and the JAAs will look to sweep the series but more importantly, make sure the team is in a good place going into the JWRT.
