Is there any footage for this game? I missed the live stream. I'm totally conflicted when the US play now. I used to be their number 1 fan!

Very disappointing from France, they haven't really seen as much improvement as i would have expected.

Very disappointing from France, they haven't really seen as much improvement as i would have expected.

whats even more disappointing is that most of their squad is fulltime pros and theyre coming up against park footballers they let in some soft tries there and really need to toughen up if they're any chance against png, nz and samoa, but not too surprised remembering what fiji did to them last WC..

Little had been expected of the United States, but after a remarkable victory in their only warm-up match, they could be ready to surprise some people. The Tomahawks' win over fourth-ranked France in Toulouse on Friday was one of the country's best results.
''This is a real shot in the arm for USA rugby league,'' US coach Terry Matterson said. ''We have travelled far and wide to get here.''
The Tomahawks will play Wales, the Cook Islands and Scotland in group matches at the World Cup starting on Saturday in England and Wales.
''I just want the guys to play to the best of their ability in the three World Cup games and if they do that we have a chance at winning each,'' Matterson said.
The victory in the south of France was even more surprising given the team's build-up. They only held their first World Cup training session the day before the match.
Matterson, assistant coach at North Queensland, was only appointed to his role 13 days ago after Matthew Elliott and Brian Smith stepped down. Four key players - Eddy Pettybourne, Ryan McGoldrick, Clint Newton and Joel Luani - were also missing.

That is absolutely damning of the French side.
