The USA Rugby South may have fallen short in the team's quest for a NACRA U19 championship, losing 24-0 to Mexico in the final, but they did their region, and the country, proud.
The most famous American rugby player just got dismissed from the US national team, and it’s OK to feel conflicted about it.
The USA Men's National Team has announced that Todd Clever has been dropped from the team, effective immediately.
The announcement posted today on USARugby.org cited "multiple squad conduct violations."
Also in the announcement, USA Head Coach Mike Tolkin said, "clearly, this is not a pleasant or desirable circumstance for either party."
“A tale of two halves” is the phrase being used to describe the USA’s 21-16 loss to Samoa during the first leg of the Pacific Nations Cup. Samoa dictated the first 40 minutes, staying on offense and trying to knock the spirit out of the USA.
AJ MacGinty was frank about his Eagle debut: Samoa was brutal; there were some nerves to overcome; he made mistakes. But the flyhalf also showed some spark. He played a different game in the second half and helped rally his team to within a try of Samoa, while also keeping the visitors off of the scoreboard.
