On Saturday, Sacramento Republic FC’s home pitch, Bonney Field, will host an international rugby match between USA and Russia. Kickoff is 7 p.m.
Bonney Field will be transformed overnight, with goals moved to make way for rugby posts and instead of a penalty box, 22-meter lines will adorn each side of the pitch.
