USA and England Women’s Rugby Teams Prepare for WXV Match in New Jersey

The USA Women’s Eagles are set to conclude their 10-test 2026 season against England this Friday, October 30, at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. The match is part of the WXV Global Series.

England head coach John Mitchell has announced six changes to the Red Roses starting lineup to refresh the squad and develop depth. Notably, Flo Robinson will earn her first international start at scrum-half, partnering with Holly Aitchison. The English squad features several returning players and new selections as they prepare for their upcoming Six Nations campaign.

To support the USA Women’s Eagles, the XV Foundation is hosting the Champions Brunch on October 31 at The Newark Museum of Art. The foundation aims to raise $200,000 to provide performance incentives and financial support for players, who currently operate without full-time salaries and often face personal costs for travel, housing, and lost wages.
