[Stag]

The field really is noticeably narrow isn’t it

They said 50,000 on the radio...

Nowhere near that.

[taniwharugby]

Wonder why Dmac, Mounga and Bridge have white boots and all the rest fluro ones...

[taniwharugby]

@sparky well thats what they said, so have it out with them.

[sparky]

38-0 after 25 minutes. Could be well over 100 points to the ABs by the end of this.

[Yeetyaah]

Holy shit that was disgusting

@sparky wouldn't it be a covid thing though? It is the US I suppose so probably not.

It's a playing a Rugby Test in the home of NFL thing.

Washington have had the lowest home crowds of all NFL teams this season.

This stadium is 82,000+ capacity and Washington has only been getting about 51-52,000

[Yeetyaah]

Should be a penalty try

[African Monkey]

Another try for Mike Minogue.

[broughie]

53 yards wide and usually cambered towards the middle.

While it’ll be great for debutants, otherwise it’s hard to see much value in this game the way it’s going. Especially for many of the Eagles.

Normally a different model.. sprig count.. Or blades v sprigs..
Have a squiz at Lionel Ritchie boot when he's setting up the ball on the tee

@donsteppa

Yeah, the US need to show some fight. Bit lacking at the moment

[taniwharugby]

@williethewaiter yeah the others are red/yellow or yellow/red but those three got the white speed boots on 🤣

[JC]

Some iffy tackles going in from some desperate men.

[broughie]

@donsteppa well the narrow field could be an opportunity to play closer to the ruck rather than spinning it wide and achieving the obvious.

[taniwharugby]

Love how Dmac had to point to the posts for Ta'avao!

[Yeetyaah]

Cringe flag in the crowd

It’s the pace of the game that they are struggling with - on both sides of the ball. Players taking the ball to the line and then passing at the last second also helps
