John Mitchell on Uruguay
USA MNT Head Coach John Mitchell gave a brief statement at a press conference in Montevideo this week.
Mitchell was guarded in his comments about the USA's loss to Brazil, but noted that a large number of players had received their first caps during the Americas Rugby Championship, and that development of future Eagles was still a big part of the tournament.
Column - How Brazil Happened
While the USA’s loss to Brazil is an almost devastating blow to the Eagles’ dreams of winning the ARC, and the worst rankings upset in World Rugby history, there are some mitigating factors that should give us all pause.
Brazil Beats Dour USA
Brazil defeated the USA 24-23 in Sao Paulo in the Americas Rugby Championship, giving the Brazilians their first win in the competition, and dealing a devastating blow to the USA’s chances of hoisting the trophy.
Eagles to Win, But be Wary of Brazil
Rarely does the USA Men’s National 15s team go into a game where we expect them to win.
Even more rare is when we expect them to win when had the expected starters aren’t there. And even, even more rare to have that feeling when pretty much the entire team is either a new cap, or has one or two caps to his name.
Updates to USA Squad
SÃO PAULO, Brazil – The USA Men's National Team has confirmed squad changes following their 64-0 shutout of Chile in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Next up is Brazil at Arena Barueri, with the Eagles looking to win the Americas Rugby Championship.
