the first game I saw involving an American team...Californian Golden Bears v our ACT team...left me with an impression that still holds for US rugby...very athletic, enthusiastic, strong and aggressive individually. They lost because they lacked cohesion in attack & the ability to adapt their defence to the quick shifts in play.

it would be like nz/aus playing gridiron against the patriots.
if they put some money into it, they would be fairly good. i mean, look at england

State of Origin 2 starts in about half an hour.
Probably the toughest team game of physical contact on the planet.
Tonight's game determines whether NSW wins a series after 8 years of losses.
