What Was Tolkin Thinking?
So what is USA Head Coach Mike Tolkin thinking with his selections against Romania?
Big Rugby Crowd Brings Big Business
It’s easy to bemoan when a sport becomes a business, but business in sports can be a good thing. Certainly any athlete who is paid a lot of money to play a game has to think that when a sport becomes big business, that athlete benefits.
Eagles - Who Stayed, Who LeftThe USA Men’s National Team now looks to face Romania without some big-name players. Brett Thompson left the field early against New Zealand. He had been nursing a shoulder injury and may well have reinjured that.
USA v All Blacks Keys to the GameSo game day is upon us, finally, and the Eagles will face the Haka just before 3pm Central Time. Lots of fans and ALL the photographers will be looking forward to that much-beloved bit of rugby theater, but what about after the Haka? There’s a game to be played, and a performance to be logged by the USA.
It's All Worth It
The Eagles are going to lose by 85 points against New Zealand’s B team and shouldn’t even both and the sellout at Soldier Field is all smoke and mirrors and you should worry about the players getting pissed off because they don’t get a slice, and USA Rugby sold the farm to The Legacy Agency and won’t get much money anyway.
