GRR: National Teams
06.24.2014 - Alex Goff
Was this the greatest comeback in USA Men’s National Team history? Down by 17 points in the second half, the USA scored 20 unanswered to win 38-35 over Canada, and in so doing finished June on a high and garnered no little bit of fan appreciation in Sacramento. As far as I can tell, this is most certainly the biggest USA comeback.

It’s easy to forget in the wake of the USA’s 37-29 loss to Japan last weekend that they scored just as many tries - four - as the Brave Blossoms.
The offense, so often struggling for tries, has shown signs of finishing. USA scrumhalf Mike Petri sees it.

The scrum remains a difficulty for the USA Men’s National Team, and they’ve been working hard at it this week; and the message is, scrum all the way.

Scott LaValla moves back to flanker for the USA as they take on Canada Saturday in Sacramento and he will roam the field with Todd Clever and Danny Barrett, hoping to keep the hard-nosed Canadian attack in check.
The Eagles are coming off a better performance against Japan, but a performance that was, ultimately, a loss.
