This will also be the the first time that USA faces off with England at Twickenham since 1999.
“We’ve had a good few days in England getting the guys back together with a number of productive training sessions under our belts" Head coach Gary Gold said about the match-day 23 he's got set for the Independence Day showdown. "For us, the important thing is to ensure our younger players are exposed to this quality of competition early and often in their playing career. As we look ahead to World Cup qualification against Canada and now two test matches against Ireland, we are confident we will see the experience of these games pay dividends heading into the next two World cup cycles.”
