    I wonder why they even field a team. The best USA athletes play other sports while in most participating countries the small best athletes play soccer and the big best athletes play rugby.

    Rugby usually isn't introduced/sponsored in schools until the college level as well in the US. 4 years of playing a sport hardly prepares you to compete at a world wide professional level. I'd guess that in New Zealand and Australia they start at a very young age.

    I believe they lost.

    England didn't do much better, getting knocked out of the group stages. First host team to do that. Tossers

    Considering Rugby is not a priority sport in the USA , I think the USA team did ok .
    A lot better than England !
    I'm still seething at the whole miserable effort made by the English rugby establishment , soppy old farts .
    Tossers is too mild a word but I'll refrain from using anything stronger .
    Oh wait .....useless bunch of steroid infused monosyllabic lurching Frankenstein dinosaurs !
