GRR: National Teams
Whether USA Head Coach Mike Tolkin chooses John Quill or Andrew Durutalo at openside flanker, it does appear that he has chosen a ball-hawk type #7 for the Eagles.
Well it was fitting, in a way, that the USA v Japan game was played in the middle of the California State Fair, with the roller coaster screaming by Bonney Field every few minutes - it was a bit of a roller coaster of a game, after all; but the USA’s victory over Japan does a few things, not least of which is that it places the Eagles in with a chance to win the Pacific Nations Cup.
The USA Men's 15s National Team held on in a thrilling and weird game to beat Japan 23-18 in the Pacific Nations Cup.
USA players Japan in the 2nd round of games in the Pacific Nations Cup. The game kicks off at 8pm Pacific Time Friday, July 24.

Can the USA beat Japan?
That’s the big question, to be answered tonight at Bonney Field in Sacramento.
