Title: NZ All Blacks v US Eagles in Chicago.... it's rugby btw.
Post by: Pinetree on October 30, 2014, 12:50:12 AM

Big game for the Eagles this weekend. Any of you guys watching it?  The eagles have a full line up as their European clubs have allowed their European based players to play. It's at a cost though,  none of those players are allowed to play for the US in their 3 games in the November tests Window. Which is extremely greedy and short sighted of those clubs. One game is fair but 3?
