The USA Men’s Eagles have pulled off a historic victory, defeating Samoa 29-13 to secure qualification for the 2027 Rugby World Cup. After the heartbreak of missing out in 2023, this win could be the most important moment in American rugby history.

Hosts Will Hooley (former USA Eagle) and Alex Corbisiero break down what this result means for the future of rugby in the US. They’re joined by USA Eagles head coach Scott Lawrence, the mastermind behind the qualification campaign, to discuss the team’s highs and lows, the Pacific Nations Cup, and what comes next.

With World Rugby pledging $250M+ investment into the US ahead of the 2031 & 2033 home World Cups, and Major League Rugby facing some recent challenges, the big question remains: Can this momentum truly galvanize and save rugby in America?

Watch and listen as Will & Corbs dive into the future of American rugby, the Eagles’ journey, and what this result means for fans, players, and the sport as a whole.
