GRR: Americas Rugby Championship
The USA MNT has been waiting for Saracens to notify them if Titi Lamositele to be made available, but injuries in the front row at that pro club has meant that the USA prop will remain in the UK, for now.
Lamositele could conceivably be available to play for the USA against Chile, but it depends on injuries at Saracens.
The USA v Argentina Americas Rugby Championship game was not a full test match.
Argentina is being billed as an Argentina XV, and certainly most of their players were very young and were not experienced internationals. The rest of the games in the ARC will be full test matches, but no player playing for or against the Argentina entry will get a cap.
In a result that was at once a pleasant surprise and, in the end, achingly frustrating, the USA tied Argentina 35-35 in the Americas Rugby Championship opening weekend.
HOUSTON (USA Rugby Release) – The first Men's Eagles starting XV under new head coach John Mitchell has been announced, with nine Rugby World Cup veterans set to complement a slew of talent new to the senior setup Saturday, Feb. 6, against Argentina in the inaugural Americas Rugby Championship.
