Semi-OT: USA Rugby Today

[AtomicDawg]

So, could the US have kicked it out of bounds to end the half when they had possession after time expired?

No since that would have meant thete was a stoppage.

TD Ebner! Oh, that's a try

 

[Fixit]

This **** is tense!!!

 

[WaterfallJumper]

This is so tense.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Well ****. At least Ebner kicked ass.

 

[fnordcircle]

Goddamn. At least they made a game out of it.

 

[raduray]

No since that would have meant thete was a stoppage.

But isn't that what Fiji just did to end the game? Sorry to be obstinate, just trying to understand the rules.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

If we had only converted.

 

[long distance]

great battle against #1
should be enough for next round

That missed conversion kick was the death knell. Great effort though and Nate crushed it.

I think we just got eliminated on account of missing that kick.

 

[raduray]

The good news is that Ebner comes back early to training camp.

Oh yeah you're right. They were able to gain control and kick it out since USA threw it in.

Nate won't get a medal but have to admire his heart. Should receive great welcome at Gillette.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

The players on Fiji look substantially more powerful. USA let themselves get run over. Need some bruisers in there, not just speedy guys.

Second time a missed kick has kept Ebner from moving on in a tournament this year. Love ya, Ghost!

you're right
missed it by 1 point

unbelievable - but still a good effort - great to watch one Patriot in real action - and he looked great

no more drop-kick kickoffs for ebner.

Ooof. Kick to the gut right there.
