USA face off against Samoa in Rugby World Cup Round 2 on Fri 8th October 2027 at Optus Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 05:15. In South Africa it’s at 06:15 SAST, 17:15 NZST in New Zealand, 15:15 AEST in Australia and 21:15 EST in the US.
USA won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 4 places in the rankings with USA in position 16 and Samoa in position 20, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for USA vs Samoa will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
