That's right. I am tired if the moral victory crap and the whiny excuses that the US doesn't play enough matches together.

Well, pretty much what I expected. USA arse whipping. Just glad the All Blacks did us the favor of showing up.

Why can't we play more matches?

We're not going to win against these Tier 1 rugby teams. The problem is when we play other Tier 2 teams those games aren't nationally televised so nobody gets to see us win.

I'm Guessing lack of funding. That may not be an issue though if you could bring New Zealand back along with some of the other powers like England and South Africa for games.

Any idea if we had to pay NZ or is AIG sponsoring their tour?

Yes
They got one million dollars for that match. Seriously, and AIG is both teams global sponsor.

What do you guys think about exhibitions in the US between rugby powers? All Blacks vs Springboks or the like, kind of like soccer has done with their preseason tours.

Easily my favorite matches.

Like right now it's called the end if the year tours, where most Southern Hemisphere teams clash with the northern hemisphere teams.

Love national matches

Sorry misread your question.
I've been to the last 3 international matches for team USA in Houston.
(Italy, Ireland, Scotland)

But I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see see two tier one teams meet on US soil.

Say like a Wales v. South Africa match up or England v Australia, or France v. NZ

I'd make it a family vacation.

There's actually some talk about Six Nations sides coming to play here in America.

Hey CC
I'm about to stumble my drunk arse in (from out by the fire) to check out that Barbarians/Wallabies test....
Is it at least entertaining?
