Fort Lauderdale, Florida - The United States has qualified for the 2011 Rugby World Cup with a 27-6 win over Uruguay 27-6.

The Eagles defeated Uruguay 27-22 in Montevideo a week ago, and swept the two-leg Americas playoffs 54-28 in a repeat of four years ago.

In New Zealand in two years, the U.S. will play in Pool C with two-time champion Australia, Ireland, Italy and a European team yet to be determined. Uruguay's Teros have another chance to qualify in continental playoffs.
