Final pool standings, final placement games, and all the scores and stat leaders in the 2015 Pacific Nations Cup.
Goff Rugby Report accumulated stats for the four USA games during the Pacific Nations Cup, and here's the report on how the team, and the players, fared.
USA prop Eric Fry spoke with Goff Rugby Report Editor after the Eagles' dramatic 15-12 victory over Canada.
The USA team, said Fry, just needed to keep to the plan, where they showed good continuity with the ball, and tested the Canadian defense. And while that work didn't produce tries, it did produce scoring opportunities, and AJ MacGinty made the penalties pay.
The USA defeated Canada 15-13 in a wild finish at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby, BC Monday to take 5th in the Pacific Nations Cup.
The Eagles did not score a try, and while the Eagles led most of the game, they were behind from the 71st minute until just before the end.
USA Head Coach Mike Tolkin has named his lineup to face Canada Monday in the final day of competition in the Pacific Nations Cup.
After losing to Samoa, beating Japan, and losing to Tonga, the USA was ranked #5 among the six teams and will play off with 0-3 Canada for 5th.
