Update from Brazil

I just got off the phone with Coach Troy and he let me know that all is well in Latin America. Some quick updates....

Don't let the scores fool you. Team USQRA divided into 2 teams today and played on their South American counterpart teams! End result a great learning, and bonding experience for all involved. "Everybody had a great time" said Coach Troy. The games were forfeits, but the play was intense and competitive.

The guys got out of the village and experienced life on the beach - Copa Cabana that is. The weather did not cooperate but the food was spicy and the change of scenery was welcome. Anything but those hills - right guys?

Our American ruggers are making quite the impression on their Latin Counterparts. Word is that the US have been the good stewards of duct tape. Seems like it is a valuable commodity and the US lads have shared the love with their brothers and sisters in South America.

Seems there has been a change in one of the US ruggers classification! You can hear the screaming from Utah already.

The big game is tomorrow and much preparation is going into correcting the mistakes from the pool play game. Expect the US to be ready for a great game.

That is it all for the moment.

Coach G
