Yeah they just lumped all the forwards together I guess cause PSA hasn't named the starting fifteen yet.

Dusautoir is captain cause they are resting Pascal Papé.

Backs are kind interesting it's good to see they are gonna cap Rémi Lamerat he's been in great form for Castres this season.

Big shocker yesterday Racing beat Toulouse at the Stade Ernest-Wallon all their points coming off the foot of Johny Sexton. First time in 21 years Toulouse failed to make the Semi-Finals.

Couple of missed goals by Jean-Marc Doussain cost them the game, boy does that sound familiar. Glad he's not making the Australian tour.

Another shocker this past weekend in the Top 14 playoffs. Fresh of their humbling loss to Saracens, Clermont was beaten had home for the first time in four years by Castres who showed why they are defending Top 14 Champs.

Sets up for a Semi Finals of Castres vs Montpelier and Racing vs Toulon.

That's F'n Awesome! What a coup to get the All Blacks over her. That'll sell some tickets.

Let us know when you hear what the USA squad will be!

Wow, that's gonna be a blood bath. Eagles struggle with teams like Russia and have been noticeably passed by Canada.

If we can hold them to only four tries and manage to score a try ourselves I'll consider it a success.


They played Japan in Tokyo last November 2nd and beat them 6–54 I suspect we'll probably see a similar score here.

Yeah who knows though. If the crowd becomes a sell out the momentum from that combined with maybe the All Blacks overlooking the Eagles it could happen...


I'm just excited that the game is actually gonna take place. This is huge for the future of Rugby in the USA and to get it shown on NBC is bigtime!

That's one of the many things I love about our sport.

BTW, Atlanta Old White lost to New Haven Old Black 29-24 in a hard fought match that included a hail storm. We play Wisconsin today in the consolation match.

NOLA won 60-32, and will play one of my former clubs, the Dallas Reds, today at 3. Winner goes to the national championship game.

I saw some good rugby this weekend..

But the best match had to be the Sharks-Crusaders match...if you have not see in it...look it up. What an effort by the Sharks.

Ulster came into Dublin and almost came out of there with a victory, Tommy Bowe was great...and having been a Devin Toner hater originally..he has really came on and played great yesterday.

And watched the Saracens put away the Harlequins...if Farrell could have made kicks early, it would never had been in doubt..
