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.
Yes, with Football, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey, Soccer etc... not too many left that may be interested in 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. [DOUBLEPOST=1444301200,1444301162][/DOUBLEPOST] 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 !
