Nate Ebner opened the scoring for the USA with a penalty after 4 minutes, after early pressure in the Jamaican 25. Closely after the re-start, a poor clearance by Jamaica maintained the pressure and good ball possession and re-cycling by the USA team resulted in fly half Robert Wolfgram going over near to the posts for an 8-0 lead. The conversion was kicked by Nate Ebner. Smithson Tapper retrieved 3 points for Jamaica with a well struck penalty before the USA rounded off the half with a further penalty and two tries, one each for winger Zack Taylor and another by Nate Ebner, both coming after persistent pressure from the USA forwards which kept Jamaica on the back foot and deep in their own half. Half time score: USA 23 Jamaica 3

Hamish Roberts opened the scoring in the second half for the US with a try in the corner. This was followed by a try for Sean Pike as the USA team began to make inroads into the Jamaican back line. Simon Kinet shortly powered his way over to make it 38-3. A blind side move from a 5 yard scrum opened the way for Robert Wolfgram to nip round and score in the corner; Hamish Roberts converted to make the final score USA 45 Jamaica 3

Credit goes to the Jamaican team for some tenacious and hard tackling. The Jamaican team competed to the final whistle and ensure that the USA team worked hard for their victory.

In the second game of the day Guyana and Trinidad & Tobago failed to put points on the scoreboard in a 0-0 encounter. The score line does not tell the whole truth of the game with both teams producing some entertaining rugby. In the first half both teams found it hard to get close to the oppositions try line, due in part to some good defense as well as both teams kicking too much possession away. As both teams tired in the second half, the play opened up more and Guyana were unlucky not to score after long periods of pressure in the Trinidad & Tobago half. Final Score: Guyana 0 Trinidad & Tobago 0
