RLWC2013 Qualifiers: USA | South Africa | Jamaica

And yet they fund sports like olympic walking and rugby union.

Well rugby union is a far bigger sport than rugby league and any olympic gold medal is worth a lot. You cant blame them for that.

Well done USA.

Those American jerseys look crap. Hope they come up with a red, white, and blue jersey for the World Cup!

Great news. I look forward to seeing US rugby league grow. Two things I need to get used to - a try being called a convert and sideshow bob still running around.

Alright, then.

The US are in and it's probably the best thing for Rugby League.

Let's see what they can do with themselves now. Hopefully they can start by mending fences with the USARL.

That army camoflage jersey is certainly an interesting concept.

Need one of those for Junior Sau to help him go missing.

This could be a big draw for union players to give RL a go and it could attract some decent quality players. Probably not those in and around the Eagles squad, who have plenty of reasons to stay where they are, but maybe the next tier down. It's crucial they have a united, well-organised and competitive domestic game to step into. The RLEF/RLIF must now step in to ensure this happens and they have the stick to ensure it happens - unite or lose your place.

the game was part of somekind of "armed forces day" or something? hence the camo jersey



warrington wolves did something similar this season

glad the USA got in...we really need them to become a force in the next 15-20 years

 

[RedVee]

Congratulations to the USA boys.

they seemed to score a lot of poin ts at the end to blow the score out.

Great stuff USA.

Now to fix the domestic situation. I don't know or care who is right or wrong. We need to get both comps linked up & the best players playing for USA.
