The USA win streak is over. The USA Eagles (Rugby name) got swamped by the Maori All Blacks.
Gary Gold knew the storm was coming. The All Blacks were to clinical for this emerging country.
I sometimes think, the USA have the larger population, more resources and better facilities so they should eventually win. Rugby nations like the south Pacific nations of New Zealand, Fiji, Somoa and even Tonga are fundamentally sounder that the USA Eagles....why ...well they have been playing their whole life and play all the time.
The USA is still emerging. Major League Rugby is a good step. This league should increase the interest of the college "farm system" so players, if they are any good could have something to play for to earn a pay check.
Yes we are emerging.
Next up for the USA Eagles is Romania. Romania is only ranked 2 spots behind the USA. The game will be played in Capital of Romania, Budapest. Romania, just lie the USA are trying to climb in the rankings.This game will be an official test match so the USA can get their full complement of players.
