USA FORM: NEW ERA FOR THE EAGLES UNDER NEW COACH
USA were not happy with failure to qualify for the World Cup last year and that has led to something of a transition. This is their first match of 2024 and there will likely be a new direction under Scott Lawrence who has been confirmed as the new head coach after an interim spell.
LAST FIVE: WWLLW
ROMANIA FORM: IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE FOR ROMANIANS
Romania were involved in the Rugby European Championships in February and March where they finished fourth behind winners Georgia, Portugal and Spain. Ranked number 20 in the world, this represents a step up in quality compared to what they faced a couple of months ago.

USA VS ROMANIA PREDICTION
USA will be determined to get their 2024 off to a winning start and this match against Romania provides them with the perfect opportunity to do so. With matches against Scotland and Tonga to come, Lawrence will want to get a positive result here and kick off his permanent tenure with a win. They beat Romania last summer in Europe and that 31-17 win was actually far more comfortable than the scoreline suggests as they conceded the 17 points in the final 20 minutes when they eased off the gas a little. They will be motivated to do well on home soil and they can pick up a win here.
USA VS ROMANIA TIP: USA TO WIN
