The USA Men’s National Team is enjoying a short break before officially starting its Rugby World Cup assembly.
The troubles for the USA pack, and especially the lineout, are not as troublesome as fans might be following the Eagles’ 47-10 loss to Australia.
While Scott LaValla is out with a broken elbow, Hayden hasn’t played since July, and Cam Dolan, Al McFarland, and Samu Manoa all left the game with apparent injuries, all save LaValla will be ready to play soon.
Australia defeated the USA 47-10 in front of over 21,000 fans at Soldier Field Saturday night in Chicago, and while it was a fairly convincing win for the Wallabies, it was also a real test match for the USA.
Kickoff 6:35 PM by USA.
Australia tries to run it out of their end but a blitz from Taku Ngwenya forces a knock-on.
The Men’s USA 7s team High Performance camp is done, and with another three months until the Sevens World Series season starts, Mike Friday has some time to think about how he constructs his team for the 2015-16 season.
