Hi David
Yes in terms of TV coverage, but no in terms of amateur play they were playing it at the club level when I was in college in the late 60s. I just thought it was neat that they could sell out Soldiers Field stadium some 61,000 fans. Cheers Phil

I take it Phil the game was Rugby Union? Not Rugby League?
In which case the Americans are a very game side taking on the All Blacks. Better sides on paper have been flogged by greater margins.

Should wait a bit before posting
- just saw the highlights. It was indeed Rugby Union.... the All Blacks vs USA. Looked like a good game despite one sided scoreline.

Yea sitting here at the Australian Embassy in Baghdad, as the only yank here I get ribbed all the time, working with Kiwis's, Aussies and Brits.. So any international match like this is talking sheet time.....We have cricket and rugby on almost every single TV around here. It was great though after the US pulled of the America's cup, they were busting my chops until the US pulled of the major comeback, ahhh karma is a byotch..
