USA is ranked 16th in the world. check the charts. out of about 100 nationally competing teams, we are pretty good. Haters go find a truly bad team out there and leave USA rugby to grow.

[jttomaiko]

We have a rugby team? O_o

[JohnBadgerrugbyman]

the reason we send england a over is because no offence, the actual england team would take you apart, but yes i agree USA rugby is growing fast, get more of your players playing the proffesional game and you will soon be a worthy force

[MegaRugby10100]

rfu needs to stop sending england A to usa and send the actual england team. would be a great match

[THEIRISHVL97DIMIR]

Thats possibly the worst Munster team ive ever seen lol...Holland..O Sullivan..Prendergast..Carney.­.

@jttomaiko LMFAO I was like wtf aswell, 3 years ago then I fell in love with rugby oh god, how does that happen? An american who loves rugby more than the NFL-NBA sheesh!

[truthmonsters]

@hedzball Well the description does state the score, so it doesn't take a genius to understand that this is just done as a promotional video for US rugby, duh.

[truthmonsters]

@12Jackman12 It's true. The USA are not bad at rugby. Not the best, but good enough to play in the World Cup.

[celt999]

I've never understood why people would click on a link featuring highlights of a match between the US and Munster and use the comments box to criticise US rugby, why watch the video in the first place? Rugby as a whole can only benefit from having a strong team USA. I am Irish, but go Eagles.

@whitesox889 what are you talking about -'get involved'? The US got involved when Germany declared war on it. What were you going to do, be at war with Germany and do nothing? The US defended its economic and political interests just like any other country would do, and was lucky enough to miss a lot of the hard fighting lol.

@12Jackman12 Whaka yeah! USA may not be as good as Australia or New Zealand but atleast they can qualify for the World Cup and compete with the top teams in the world. Unlike Spain :)
