:( They can still qualify but it's a big setback for EOS and USA Rugby.

However, it they qualify by beating Uruguay, they will be in Ireland's group! :D

And the point on starting a thread about this was .......?

I for one am interested in Eddies progress with the USA. What was the point of your comment?

Wow, they were really well and truely beaten, 41-18 Canada racking up 6 tries.

And even if they lose the next one, theres ANOTHER chance to qualify. Amazing really.

Even EOS should manage to get USA to the WC.

They looked promising in the first of the two-fixture series, but had a man red-carded early on in this match that killed their chances.

Possibly dodged a bullet avoiding France and New Zealand?

Instead getting Ireland and Australia?

Eddie should get them through at the next attempt, but judging by that article, he'll even get another shot if he fails again, so they must be fairly confident of making it through one of the play-offs.

It was a bit of a hammering though, and not what Eddie would have been aiming for I'm sure!

When will the Uraguay v. USA game be on? or will it be a two game series again.

That's an undeserved cheap shot imo. :mad:

Hardly any worse then the comments you made about CW in the Simon Shaw thread.

Looking through the fixtures it looks pretty much set that we'll be playing the Yanks on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Could be a potential banana skin for us there.
