USA Falcons XV


The USA Falcons or the USA A national team, formerly known as the USA Selects, is the second national rugby team for the United States, usually used for uncapped matches and domestic club sides. The primary national team is known as the USA Eagles or the United States national rugby union team.

History

The USA A side lost 21–83 to England during their 2001 North America tour. The USA A side lost 8–24 to Scotland in 2002 in Portland, Oregon in front of 1,100 fans. The USA Selects participated in the Americas Rugby Championship, a tournament originally featuring the "A" sides for Argentina, Canada, the United States, and Uruguay. The ARC is an annual tournament that replaced the North America 4 competition. The USA Selects' best results in the ARC were their second-place finishes in 2013 and 2014. In April and May 2015, the Select side were used for the United States 2015 Rugby World Cup warm-up matches in South America, as part of the Eagles 2015 Rugby World Cup preparations. The Selects went 1-2 on their South American Tour defeating Uruguay and losing to the Argentina Jaguars twice.
