GRR: Overseas Pros
The USA Men's National Team traded the availability of some overseas pros for the New Zealand test match for giving those players up for part or all of the rest of November.
That doesn't mean they played. Blaine Scully and Eric Fry weren't used as Leicester won and Newcastle lost in LV= cup action. Samu Manoa likewise wasn't used as Northampton won.
Pros Wyles and LaValla starting, but Fry, Manoa, Smith, Scully all not playing this weekend. Did they need tackle bag holders?
As predicted by Goff Rugby Report, a player few have on their radar is on the USA squad for this November.
BOULDER, Colo. – USA Rugby confirmed Friday that top USA pros will be available for selection for the USA v New Zealand match to be played at Soldier Field Nov. 1.
It was a big weekend for tries by USA players overseas, as three Aviva Premiership players scored to help their teams win.
