USA Lineup Named To Face Scotland
USA Lineup Named To Face Scotland
USA men's national team head coach Gary Gold has named his starters to face World Rugby No. 6 Scotland on Saturday in Houston in the Eagles' second of three Emirates Airline Summer Series games this month.
Gold has stuck with his starting lineup from the USA's 62-13 victory over No. 19 Russia this past weekend, with just two changes made to the bench.

This Saturday's match takes place at BBVA Compass Stadium and kicks off at 8 PM CT, with tickets available at usarugby.org/tickets .
"Despite a few early challenges, the chemistry of this group worked well last week—even though we'd only spent a relatively short amount of time together as a unit," Gold said. "We've had another week to build on our rhythm as a collective and grow in our individual roles which will undoubtedly help us against a quality side in Scotland."
Last time the Men's Eagles faced Scotland at the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England, they fell 39-16 after conceding a seven-point lead in the first half of play. Overall, both teams have met four times, with Scotland owning the better side of the score in each affair.
Scotland began its tour of the Americas with a 48-10 win against Canada over the weekend, while the United States opened its summer schedule by notching a win over Russia. Now 6-0 on the year, the USA will face its most difficult challenge this season.
With no changes made to the starting lineup, the men's national team will see two new faces jump into action from the bench. Dylan Fawsitt will replace James Hilterbrand, who fell to injury last week against Russia and continues recovery. Prop Titi Lamositele will step in for Olive Kilifi, as well.
