Young guns ready to shine at U20s Nations Cup

The tournament starts on July 14 and sees England, USA, Canada and South Africa compete with the latter taking part in their first every international event.

The final is due to be played on July 23 in Harder Stadium on the UCSB campus.

The U20 Nations Cup is the leading age-grade womens international competition and we are proud to host this elite event here in the United States, said USA Rugby Womens High Performance Director and tournament director, Alex Williams.

These athletes are world-class and, given their age, we fully expect to see a handful of players from this tournament at the 2014 Womens Rugby World Cup and on the Olympic stage in Rio in 2016, Williams added. We are also excited to give our U20s team the opportunity to play international rugby in front of a home crowd for the first time.

Admission to all games is free and all games will be webcast. The first two days will be a delayed webcast and the final two days will be webcast LIVE on USA Rugbys UStream channel,www.ustream.tv/usarugby
