We actually beat Romania in the warmups by 14 in early August...last time
we played Ireland in 2021 we lost 71-10...
There is a reason why Ireland is one of the top countries in the world for rugby.
The US if rightly coached would be in the 12 range which would make us about Japan/Tonga/Italy equivalents..
The players for the US are pretty good...arguably have one of the best fly halfs and a few other players that would play on many teams. But coaching has sucked forever. They never play to our strengths, but they coach a NZ or Aus or UK game...while that might work there, never here.
We failed to make the world cup as we choked to Uruguay then Chile then Portugal in succession...one kick here or there and we win.....sigh...
Anyways leaving tomorrow for the RWC...
