GRR: Eagle Men
The USA put a bit of a worry into Scotland and led at halftime, but ultimately lost to Scotland 39-16 Sunday in the Rugby World Cup Pool B clash at Eland Road in Leeds.
Sunday sees the USA face off with Scotland in a key game for both teams.
LEEDS, UK (USA Rugby Release) – USA Men's Eagles Head Coach Mike Tolkin has made one change to the starting XV that opened Rugby World Cup 2015 Pool B play against Samoa for Sunday's match against Scotland.
Settled in at Leeds, the USA Men’s National Team has had little time for reflection on Sunday’s loss to Samoa, what with Sunday bringing another stern test, Scotland.
The team traveled from Portsmouth to Leeds on Monday and spent Tuesday reviewing film and training. The coaches provided a preview of Scotland on Wednesday, and then Thursday they rested.
The USA team trained during Scotland’s 45-10 victory over Japan on Wednesday, so the players didn’t get to watch a game between two of the teams they are still to play.
In fact, the Eagles face Scotland on the 27th, and maybe the coaches figured they wanted the players to concentrate on their own performance, not that of the opposition.
