USA vs. Scotland: 5 Things To Know Before The Murrayfield Test

The USA Eagles face Scotland at Murrayfield Stadium on Nov. 1. Here are five key things to know before the Eagles’ Autumn Nations test.

2018 USA Men's Try Of The Year

The United States will be crashing the 2027 Rugby World Cup party in Australia, but the 2025 international season isn’t over for Scott Lawrence and the Eagles.

And the biggest test of all awaits in one of rugby’s cathedrals — Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.

Scotland Rugby was a few missed kicks away from possibly winning the 2025 Six Nations and enters the Nations Series — or Autumn Nations, for the rugby heads — as the No. 8-ranked team in the world.

It has been seven years since the Eagles stunned the world in Houston and beat the Scots. 

Now, the two sides meet again across the pond at 1:40 p.m. ET on Nov. 1.

Here are five things to know ahead of the Eagles vs. the Scots:

Don’t Miss A Second Of The Pregame At Murrayfield Stadium

My goodness, if Peacock skips the pregame pageantry of Murrayfield on Saturday…

There isn’t anything like it in sports — not just rugby. 

It’s the best crowd in the game, and that doesn’t even feel like a hot take. 

The lone piper at the top of the stadium, the army of bagpipers on the field, the crowd singing “Flower of Scotland,” and the fact it’s the first match at Murrayfield since playing Wales in March — don’t miss it… if Peacock shows it.

The Match Is On Peacock In The United States

USA Rugby is streaming all over the place these days, including on FloRugby this month. 

But the Scotland–USA match is streaming on Peacock, which currently carries all the Autumn Nations and Six Nations matches.

This Is A Big Month For The Eagles

The Scotland match is a major test, but in terms of Rugby World Cup seeding, the match the USA will play against Georgia on Nov. 8 might be even bigger. 

Georgia is ranked No. 11 in the world, and the Eagles start the month at No. 15. 

The two nations could be battling for similar seeding positions come December when the World Cup draw takes place.

About The 2018 USA vs. Scotland Rugby Match

That match streamed on FloRugby and became one of the biggest moments in USA Rugby history. 

One of the best players in the world, Blair Kinghorn, missed a late kick, and Joe Taufete’e scored two tries as the USA won 30-29.

The Scots won’t have Kinghorn or their biggest star, Finn Russell, this time, but they will feature standouts, such as Darcy Graham and Duhan van der Merwe. 

The USA hasn’t released its lineup yet, but there could be some veterans from that 2018 win.
