USA Military Team Names Lineup to Face RAF
USA Military Team Names Lineup to Face RAF
USA Military Head Coach Allen Clarke has named his gameday 23 to play the RAF November 12 at Aldershot Garrison Sports Centre in England.
The USA Military team is coming off a 47-17 loss to the British Army which was certainly more competitive than the score might indicate, and confidence is high for a different result on Tuesday.
All players on the tour will be getting game time so there are some changes. With two new starting props, and a changed deep three, this team will feature all of the players who did not dress for the British Army game.
The overall game plan stays the same—be very physical, get the simple things right, and play in their half, said Clarke during his sessions with the team. Inaccuracy and penalties hurt them in Game 1, and while further review of that match might expose some curious referee calls and non-calls, that’s irrelevant, said Clarke, if you take care of the important things.
Kickoff is 7PM UK Time Nov. 12.
