[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 678933, member: 38640"] Well, the USA often play teams at their own level... I think this is an exercise in marketing more than genuine player development. It's about getting exposure. I'm more exited watching the All Whites play a team like Argentina or Germany which we are sure to lose big but see the best players on display, rather than a more narrow loss to...Saint Vincent and the Grenadas (no joking they have a population of 100k and are actually rated above us...). In the context of rugby, even a win over Romania for example - how much is that going to interest the common American? [/QUOTE]
