The USA could complete a successful defence of the Americas Rugby Championship title with a round to spare if they beat Brazil in Sao José dos Campos (17:40 local time, 20:40 GMT) and other results on Saturday go their way.
If the Eagles win, Argentina XV must beat Canada in Jujuy (20:10 local time, 23:10 GMT) and Uruguay overcome hosts Chile in Santiago (15:10 local time, 18:10 GMT) to stay in the hunt for the continent’s most coveted prize.
Topping the standings with 14 points after three wins, the Eagles have not lost an Americas Rugby Championship match since Uruguay beat them in the final round of the inaugural tournament in 2016. They are closely followed in the 2018 standings by Argentina XV on 11 points with Uruguay on nine.
The Americas Rugby Championship 2018 is proving a hit with rugby fans around the world, and with World Rugby delivering live streaming via www.worldrugby.org and World Rugby Facebook and YouTube (geo-blocked in the Americas), live and highlights video has been viewed more than six million times.
Once again, every pass, kick and try will be streamed live via World Rugby this weekend (outside of the Americas), while ESPN will be broadcasting all the action across the continent.
