American women’s rugby takes the role of Olympic favorite

Olympic Rugby Tickets fans can book Olympic Rugby Tickets from our ticketing marketplace

While the final score (26-7 over Australia) seemed convincing, the road to victory was bumpy.

The United States lost a 24-14 group stage match against France, and then came off a spectacular quarter-final rally against Canada when Cheta Emba ran over half the length of the field for one last attempt and a 29-26 win.

The semifinal with New Zealand turned both ways, with Lauren Doyle playing a defensive game and a late attempt to bet the United States to a 19-12 lead.

The men’s team equaled the women by finishing second in the overall standings last season, after retaining first place in the series and securing their presence in Tokyo next summer.

The United States has won just three World Cup games in their history and are currently working in the Death Group at this year’s Cup.
