where is this pitch at?

[jasontemp]

I think it was in Long Beach at some grade school or something. This was almost a year ago and 3000 miles away.

[raggedtraveler]

@jasontemp at a grade school? r u fucking kidding me. pro rugby players need to play in a pro football or soccer field

[habana344]

the level of rugby is awuful!!! and these are men haha!! britains u15s team would win these

I am USA born and a fan of soccer, rugby and cricket. I hope Brits realize that Rugby Union in the USA is 100% amateur, and that the USA has had a national rugby team only since 1976. In addition the USA sports news media (newspapers, TV, and radio) NEVER give coverage to rugby, not even the Rugby World Cup. I attend as many Chicago Lions games as I can, subscribe to rugby mags, and am a loyal rugby fan. I hope there will one day be a Rugby league in the USA comparable to Major League Soccer.

and yet somehow we hold the last Olympic gold medal given out for the sport. Go figure.

Common mate, fair go. These blokes are out there giving it a go in a nation that largely has no idea what Rugby is. It's easy for blokes in New Zealand, England, South Africa or us blokes over here in Australia cos we grow up with the game; they don't have that luxury. They're out there for the love of the game and I reckon that's all that counts...ps Marty Wiggins is a sexy man beast...

[dzrtrder203]

I played one of britains all area u15 teams and 3 or 4 of there players were on the national team, we beat them 21-19...

[Ell0323]

would have to disagree, proper camera and angles would show the real level. u15 wouldn't make it through one ruck or scrum down.

[KevinAtSeven]

These guys play about the level of high school teams over here - bring em over for a tour, they'd be great games!
