The team was preparing for competition in the upcoming World Rugby WXV1 series, in which the US will play England, France, and Ireland in Vancouver, British Columbia, over the four weeks following the camp and Sunday scrimmage with Canada.
The USA Women’s Eagles visit in September 2024 marked another significant moment for Chuckanut Rugby Club and the deWilde Rugby & Polo Fields. It underscores the growing prominence of women's rugby in the United States and the Pacific Northwest region's commitment to supporting elite athletes.
WA State House Representative Alicia Rule, a long-standing supporter of the project, joined the event, reinforcing her belief in the importance of the deWilde project.
"This development is not just about creating fields; it’s about what rugby means to this region," said Rule. "The Chuckanut Bay Rugby Club has shown that with vision, passion, and a strong volunteer base, we can create something remarkable that will serve athletes and the community for years to come." - State Representative Alicia Rule
