Caymanian: it's how they won the rugby in the Olympics. American Football was briefly banned after a series of serious accidents and some of the best American footballers swapped codes. You can find a photo of their 1920 team rather easily through Google.

This game is brutal.

We are in the colosseum where everyone wants to kill and no one wants to lay down and die...

USA try could be a grandstand finish

You've got to feel for the USA: two narrow defeats against much stronger opposition. They almost got the bonus point against England and have finally got a reward against Samoa.

Had there been 5 minutes more they could have won.

Brilliant, far more spirit from both teams than a lot of the top world teams. Isn't that what rugby is about?

Undoubtedly Mikesiva is not amused by the closeness of the result...

Yes, surprisingly good effort from the Eagles. I'm a Yank who's starting to be a rugby fan, and am pleasantly surprised that the US is very competitive against Samoa, and made England struggle a little. The team seems full of spirit and improving rapidly. Good job, even if they won't win a game.
