Sorry, that was probably unnecessary sharing.

If USA keep it below a 50 point deficit I’ll be very surprised

They’ve never been very good, huge potential with all the college kids that don’t make the NFL, but no uptakes

I was expecting 40-60. But in the whole game, not in the first half.

Whanganui hosted the Eagles when they arrived for the 2011 RWC. The squad paddled a couple of waka up the river from Putiki Marae. Biggest turnout I've ever seen in our small town of 42,000 - the bridges and riverbanks were jam packed. The players seemed to enjoy themselves. Was a great day out.

Horrific scoreline, but the positive is that the game has been injury-free and flowing.
So maybe there are some strong, young fast guys with that potential looking on and thinking "I could do this and enjoy it" -- physical but not brutal, and lots of chances for everyone to get a run with the ball.

The US team is the best from their domestic league. They are seeing for themselves how easily they can be ripped open by pace and flair. Hopefully they'll try to reproduce that style in their domestic games.

The most damaging thing you can say against the ABs is that there are some very dodgy haircuts on show

Couple of very poor passes from Perenara already.
