Watch out for flying bodies.

The USA Men's National Team will face Romania in the Pershing Cup rivalry game Saturday in Bucharest, and it promises to be a physical and fractious game - it always is.

Who controls the breakdown could well win the game, and USA scrumhalf Nate Augspurger was asked by Goff Rugby Report about the breakdown in the Eagles' loss to the Maori All Blacks, and what that harbingers for Saturday.

"My job is we try to play at a high tempo, so if the ball isn't clean, my job is still to get it out and allow us to play high-tempo rugby," said Augspurger. "It times [against the Maori] it was good ball and at other times it was a $%&^ fight, so to speak, in which case we've just got to be tougher at the #9 position to handle those situations."

The intensity and intent has been there in the USA pack and the backs who clear out. But they still have to work on execution.

"We have to increase the percentage of executing those plays in the next two test matches," he said.

Certainly Augspurger will have his work cut out for him to give the backs good ball, but if he can, it seems like the Eagles have a shot at scoring some points.

The USA team has started publicizing the numbers of each USA player - just as the All Blacks do. This was something that previous USA Coach Scott Johnson had looked into doing - a way to recognize the history of the game in the United States. On Saturday, Bryce Campbell, Madison Hughes, and Martin Iosefo get their first caps. Iosefo gets number 500 - quite the milestone for the program in general.

Vice captain Blaine Scully posted a photo on Instagram of him (at right), captain Todd Clever (on left), and Iosefo (center) with their game jerseys. Scully made note of the milestone, saying:

"Pretty incredible to think that from 1912, when A.E. Allen became the first capped USA Eagle vs. Australia, to 2016 and 104 years later, we'd be recognizing the 500th Eagle... Beyond privileged to represent this jersey and honored to be one of the few to call myself an Eagle. Cannot wait to take the field with these men tomorrow. Let's go. #usaeagles."
