Well, I'm pulling for the Sunwolves and Jaguares simply because they are new and will be seen as underdogs most the season. Though if I had to pick my favorite team to watch, it'd have to be the Chiefs. A bunch of new guys on the team and I love watching their fast pace attacking style of play.


It's a shame there's no English feed for the USA v Brazil match. Former LSU hooker Cam Falcon finally got a spot on the 23 man roster.

Not going to give a spoiler alert because you do NOT want to watch this game.

Wow, USA blew it today. Looks like Argentina will win another Americas Rugby Championship. Let Brazil get out to a big lead early then fought back. Played the old style of typical USA Rugby. Kicking the ball away straight down the middle of the field, kicking away possession in attacking scenarios. Forwards even got pushed around in the scrum and mauls. Add all that on top of a ton of penalties and US going 3/8 or something similar at kicks for points. Bad bad rugby. They even had the victory in hand with time expired, all they had to was kick the ball out of bounds. But instead while going for the bonus try they give up a penalty. Brazil kicks to touch, sets up the maul off the lineout, gets another penalty, and wins the game.


Eta: And one of my former teammates, Cam Falcon, didn't even get to play...
