I'd forgotten watching this in the pub last night until reading the newspaper just now. I know the US public don't take rugby too seriously but the coaches and players do, this is an enormous set back for them and an incredible boost for what amounts to the Welsh second team - with 10 of the first team in NZ with the Lions.
Welsh rugby is in the best state I've ever seen, it's a shame the Celtic league is in the administrative shambles we currently see. Usually only Australia and NZ pull off results like this away from home
I'm probably the only one on the forum to care about this and I know it's only the US rugby team and it was only a friendly but it gives me a warm glow and adds to the huge sense of expectation I already felt that the current team has the talent to surpass the achievments of that Welsh team in the 70s.
