Orrin Bizer followed up just before the half to run in the USA’s second and with Will Chevalier converting both, the Eagles led 14-10 going into the half. Both sides held off further tries, but it was enough for the Eagles to take their first win and set the tone for what would come.

Giving no time for the Canadians to respond this time, Lucas Lacamp sealed the match with try number 4 to take the win 22-14.

Day 2 kicked off against Belgium who came out attacking and put the USA through their phases for the guts of the first half taking the opening score. With a quick response, Will Chevalier jukes the defense to run in a try  before the buzzer sounds to put the Eagles up 7-5 at the break. Chevalier followed it up picking off a scrum just meters out from the Belgians try line. The USA won a subsequent scrum again 5 meters out with Tomasin running a hard line and Chevalier scooping the ball into his hands to dot down and secure the win 17-5. 

With four wins under their belt, the Eagles met Germany again for their final match of the tournament, who also came in undefeated. Having been downed by the Germans in Kenya, the Eagles opened with an elevated intensity. An offload from Still to Chevalier wins the USA first points dotting down in the corner for the opening try, With both sides, relentlessly defending and pushing the pace on attack, Tomasin sees an opening and shifts the ball out wide to Ben Broselle to outrun the ball and taking the 2nd try for the USA. Restarting quickly, the USA drew in two defenders to give Lacamp space on the opposite wing to make his way across the line and take the lead 17-0 at halftime. An injury delay extending the break, the USA came back firing poaching possession to turnover. Shifting through the phases, Chevalier makes space out of nothing, breaking through the Germans defensive line to take his second try of the match. Germany turnover to run the length of the pitch taking their first try. A wide pass to Tucker Trickey, runs in another try for the Eagles clinching an undefeated record for the Eagles in Uruguay with a 29-5 win over the Germans.
