Young USA Team to Face South Africa
National Teams - USA Women

The USA has named its 22 for tomorrow's Women's Nations Cup match against South Africa. The Eagles are looking to rebound after losses to England (read more here) and Canada (read more here) in the third of four international tests, and have named a relatively young side to set that goal in motion.

No. 8 Kate Daley will take over field captain duties against South Africa, and is one of four players making her third consecutive start at the Nations Cup. Flyhalf Sadie Anderson, fullback Sam Pankey and Shaina Turley, who moves from flanker to lock, are also earning their third cap of the tournament.

Both teams are winless at this juncture, so regardless of the outcome, the two will meet again on Saturday during the third-place match. The action gets started at 4:30 p.m. EDT.
