| Battle of the Eagles |
It's been a long and painful wait for the men's' Eagles to get back into a Rugby World Cup. We all know it's essential for us to get into the dance scheduled for Australia in 2027.
The question(s) is ..... Will we do it this weekend with a win against Samoa? or we will wait for next week with a win against Chile? Will we do it months down the line with a win in repechage?
Surely there's no way on earth we lose ALL of those matches. Right?!
I say nay. If Operation Moonshot is to come true, we must simply win a single match. by a single point.
Sounds easy right? Well, Samoa and Chile won't lie down. It may look ugly at times, and it might not be pretty. But a win's a win.
As World Rugby's new darling, USA Rugby can breathe easy with a win Sunday at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Knowing we got a sugar daddy for the next 5 years, with a spot at the dance in two years time, it will be a good time to take a (short, but needed) mini victory lap.
But absolutely nothing is sure .... that's why the play the games ("matches" for the rugby purist crowd)
See you all Sunday morning at Dick's
PICKEM!
HARPO'S PIKS
USA vs. Samoa - "USA can and will win"
Tonga vs. Japan - "Japan is gunna win, but they won't cover the spread"
Canada vs. Fiji - "Fiji by a Billion"
