Watching the superior ball handling and passing in the South Africa-Wales matchup in the world cup of Rugby I was annoyed by the disarray in the American game that was evident this past month in their miserable play and performance on the worlds stage. It is indubitable that this program will ever be a major player on the international scene and one wonders how this pathetic American team even was invited to the World Cup. The Americans got squashed by both South Africa and Japan in their final two games and looked like they were playing soccer more than fucking Rugby. That was our rugby team we did send out across the pond to represent us?
The American Rugby program looked like a Pee wee forces and a casual observe to watching these games and the difference between an Argentina, Scotland, English team compared to the Yankees must of noticed a major difference. Coach Mike Tolkin did absolutely nothing in getting his team, the flying eagles, prepared for the bruises and tackling they were going to be facing in this tournament and the team seemed like they couldn't take a hit and paranoid to have the ball in their hands for more than a second. They looked like they couldn't tackle nor take down anyone without the help of four of their teammates in all of these games. This is a sport and a program that the top levels of the organization need to develop better players or we will just have to look forward to watching more smaller countries thump our asses in these games. This performance was downright shameful and perhaps they should pick a name after a color like they do in New Zealand instead of use the American team USA on their title. perhaps the all yellows would suite this team fine.
