			<description><![CDATA[Its not like he is going to be the difference between USA winning the World Cup and not. Obviously performing well in the World Cup is important, but the way the Eagles are playing Russia is our only shot at a win. Maybe the next cycle will be a different story. Carl Hayman made the same decision.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[No I don't "know" any of the Eagles. But I'm also not blinded by stupidity. Some (Petri) would give anything and he's a great player/guy. Some (Manoa) could careless and rather just get the pro contract. Thanks for solidifying my opinion Joe!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[To be fair the guy has made his own decision rather than Northampton who have tried to deny him the right to play in the World Cup. He has a short period in which to make a decent living out of the sport. Why should he be expected to put a world cup for which he is not really ready, in fornt of his future financial security? It's only career whinger O'Sullivan who can't seem to grasp this. But then he always did like bitching about stuff rather than fixing it! Actually though - Samu will be a much improved player by the time the next World Cup comes along for his time at Northampton and will be much better able to contribute to the Eagles' efforts then. This move is good for both player and country, long term.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You have no idea what you are talking about. Do you know half the Eagles? The few I know would (and have done) anything and everything to ge the opportunity to play for the Eagles. Petri, for example, left a pro club in Wales this spring to come back to NYAC to get more playing time so he could compete for a starting spot on the team.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Unfortunate on some levels, but it is not as if he had become a key part of the team. Clever, Wyles, and to a lesser extent Stanfill have all done something similar, and often done so while being a much more important part of the squad. How about Samu goes to play some pro rugby, and perhaps brings some of that back to the Eagles at some point? He'll learn a lot more playing a season for Northampton than he would at SFGG and dirt tracking around NZ.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Makes sense actually. Northampton has several forwards at international level that will be gone. If he goes, he will be able to get a lot of attention from coaches and fans. Sucks for the USA, but what the hay?]]></description>
