International rugby comes to FloRugby with the USA Men's 15s and USA Women's Sevens teams in action this weekend.

JUNE 8-10

Women's World Series: Paris 7s

Beginning 6:55 AM CDT, Friday | Watch LIVE

It's all at stake in the HSBC Women's Sevens World Series as Stade Jean Bouin in Paris hosts the fifth and final tournament on the circuit. With the news already out that the World Series will expand to include Glendale, CO next season, and with the Rugby World Cup Sevens in San Francisco just around the corner, every team is abuzz.

For the USA, the key goal is to outperform Canada and thus finish the series ahead of the Eagles' northern rivals in fourth. Next on the agenda? Hit France hard and try to overhaul the French for third. That will be much tougher, as the Eagles need to finish at least five spots higher than France to accomplish that.

Meanwhile, Australia leads the World Series with 74 points, four points ahead of New Zealand. Those two teams will go down to the wire to crown a champion. If Australia makes the final, that will clinch the title.

JUNE 9

Summer Series: USA Men's National Team vs. Russia

7 PM CDT, Saturday | Watch LIVE

Rivals USA and Russia face off at Dick's Sporting Good Park in Denver in the first meeting between these two nations since 2016.

The Eagles have almost their full complement of overseas pros for this clash, while Russia, thanks to a World Rugby ruling on the mess in Rugby Europe, has now qualified for the Rugby World Cup and wants to test itself against a fellow RWC team.
