You Americans...

Should be backing your team in the World Cup rugby. Even though they have lost to England and Tonga they have been putting in a very respectable performance. They held England to a 28-10 loss and Tonga to 15-25 which is not a bad showing at all. Kudos to the team and their coach.

And they did all this without padding?

Padding isn't necessary when you're smaller, weaker, and slower.

Yeah, the American matches have been great to watch, actually. The performance against England was admirable.

Kindof. My understanding is that it's made up of the failed NFL players who don't mind getting injured.

I think the brown ones beat them to it. There are a lot of Pasifika playing in NZ teams - they are big and very, very fast....... Your US team has a very large pack (scrum). They are getting better and I reckon you should give them all your support. They have done pretty well and their effort should be applauded.
