GRR: All Americans
Now on the campus of the University of Queensland in Brisbane, the Men’s Collegiate All Americans are in warmer weather and looking ahead to a match against Brothers on Wednesday.
The game will kick off at Crosby Park in Brisbane, QLD at 6pm local time, which is 4am Eastern Time and 1am Pacific Time.
Things didn’t start out perfectly on the field for the Men’s Collegiate All Americans, as they fell behind 12-0 early against Darling Downs, but that was just a chance for the leadership to come through.
And central to that was captain Aladdin Schirmer.
TOOWOOMBA, Queensland - The USA Rugby Men's Collegiate All Americans defeated Darling Downs 31-17 in the opening game of a three-match tour of Australia, sponsored by WellDog.
You might be surprised by who isn’t starting for the Men’s Collegiate All Americans in the opening game of the team’s Australian tour, but don’t worry, you’ll see everyone eventually.
The game itself will have open subs - a situation requested by the Darling Downs club, but one that fits right in with what Head Coach Gavin Hickie wants to do.
The Men’s Collegiate All Americans have enjoyed a warm welcome in Australia.
According to Head Coach Gavin Hickie, the locals in Toowoomba, QLD have been hugely enthusiastic about the game and the fact that not only a touring rugby team is in town, but it’s a team that includes some current and future USA players.
