    Although the Canadians have the upper hand in the rivalry at Test level, it was the young Americans who emerged victorious when the countries last met at U20 level.

    USA ran in six tries at TD Place last July, overturning a 17-14 half-time deficit to ultimately secure a commanding 40-24 victory.

    Fly-half Alissa Eisenhart converted five of those scores to finish the match with 10 points and she has again been named as part of the USA squad to travel to Wales.

    USA coach Joel Nonnaud said: “This tour is critical to our athletes’ development in the pathway, as it teaches them to form an efficient team quickly and compete against opponents who will challenge them tactically, technically, physically and mentally for 80 minutes non-stop.”

    Following Sunday’s opening match, USA will play Wales and Canada will take on England at Cardiff Arms Park on Friday, July 19th.

    The fixtures will then be reversed as England face USA and the hosts play Canada at the same venue five days later.

    “We are greatly looking forward to working with this group of players as they continue their development along the high-performance pathway,” Canada coach Dean Murten said.

    “Last summer the U20 women’s programme officially relaunched with two valuable Test matches against the USA and Wales, and we are confident that our programming this summer will once again provide an elite training and competition experience and challenge our players as they continue their development both on and off the pitch.

    “These players have put in a great amount of work with their club and university teams and will now get to transfer their skills to an international setting.”

    Jodie Burrage is Stronger Than You Think

    Stronger Than You Think has a new look for series three and British tennis player Jodie Burrage is the first sportswoman to test out the upgraded set.

    Burrage joins former England sevens star Jodie Ounsley and Ashleigh Wilmot to discuss the journey she has taken from being a young gymnast to playing doubles with Andy Murray and THAT match at Wimbledon.

    The 25-year-old turned her back on a place at university to follow her dream of becoming a professional tennis player and that is certainly a decision that has paid off.

    Although she is currently sidelined with injury, Burrage won her maiden WTA title at the 2023 Transylvania Open and reached a career-high ranking of 84 in March.

    You can find out more about her career and hopes for the future on RugbyPass TV.

    George Skivington talks up 'relative unknown's England chances

    I Could Hardly Breathe! Months of tireless fundraising had finally come through for my small nonprofit, and we had $300,000 in Bitcoin to supply food, shelter, and medical aid to refugees fleeing war. That fund was hope, a future for families who had no other place to turn. It all fell apart in an instant. Our treasurer, a man I'd trusted like a brother, vanished overnight and took the entire fund with him. I was heartbroken. The weight of the people who were depending on us pressed against my chest. I could hardly breathe. I looked at my screen, powerless to do anything as the blockchain ledger confirmed my worst nightmare, the funds had been moved through a series of wallets, vanished into thin air.

    Sleepless and remorseful, I consulted a crisis management expert in a desperate phone call. With the calm, panic-slashing tone of her voice, she spoke GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Her confidence was the sort that spoke of seen miracles. At that straw of hope, I grasped and called them immediately.

    From that first call, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES treated my case like those refugee lives were in their own hands. Their lead investigator explained their approach, tracing transactions through blockchains, monitoring wallet activity, and leveraging relationships with international exchanges. They explained it all in plain terms, never once making me feel dumb for my ignorance. They understood both the technical complexity and the human stakes.

    There were daily progress reports. They followed the laundering path our treasurer had attempted, following the trail through the decentralized exchanges and privacy-focused mixers. Each breakthrough was like a heartbeat resuscitating a stilled chest. On the nineteenth day, they called with the words I had scarcely dared to hope: "We got it back."

    I got down on my knees and wept. $300,000 was safely recovered to our nonprofit wallet. But GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn't hesitate. They guided us through implementing enhanced security measures, such as multi-signature wallets, cold storage solutions, and rigorous internal oversight. They even advised us on vetting future financial officers.

    Our mission is stronger today than ever. Refugee families are still being assisted, and I sleep well knowing our funds are secure. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES not only retrieved our Bitcoin, they restored my faith in resiliency and human kindness.
