			<description><![CDATA[All the gripers- you have to see the big picture. The schedulers did the US a major disservice by giving them only 3 days rest after the Aussie match until they face Italy- no other team in the pool has to play games so close together (AUS and IRE have basically a full week between each match). Given that, The US had to have some form of split squad (particularly in the tight five) to be able to put up any reasonable fight against Italy. So EOS was left with a choice- start the backups against AUS and the starters against ITA; choose the opposite; or split them down the middle. I personally agree with his decision.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I see the reasoning but I don't agree. I'm from the school of put the best guys on the field everytime you play. Especially if it's the toughest opponent of the cup. You only get this once every four years. I still plan on getting up at 3:15 to stream the game but i'm a bit dissapointed I wont be seeing our best lineup against the class of the aussies. Good luck to the starters what an honor to take the field. I hope malifa does a complete 180 from the warmup matches, but like they say, pressure busts pipes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I for one am delighted to see a change-up in the back three. In the first minutes of the Russia game, Chris Wyles missed touch and missed a critical tackle. Played ok after that, save for a dropped high ball, but Z. had a truly, truly awful match. I tried to really watch the repeat telecast, and he had, I believe, eight touches. He went out of bounds on three of them, and had FOUR knock ons. Which is utterly, comically, epically bad. He's deadly in space and I love his effort and defense, but his grade offensively is an F.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think we can beat any team at any level if the players and the coach goes in with the mentality that we can do it. That's why Rugby is not going anywhere in U.S. It doesn't matter how many players they have that plays pro, it's about getting better and have a heart to go out and make a statement. Goodluck Eagles.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Are some of you so delusional to think we were gonna beat Australia anyhow?? It is a ridiculous notion to begin with and if we aren't going to win, why not give some of the dirt-trackers a run. See this is why we have a squad of 30 guys, so the first liners don't have to take the physical punishment of 4 full test matches in less than 4 weeks time. plus. It is really an insult to all the guys who are getting this run to suggest that they are that pathetic, it will probably be just a little worse than it would've been anyhow. Yes Australia is in a different class, but they are in a different class than ALL of our players, not like it would make a damn bit of difference to have Clever, or Johnson out there, and Sifa is just as good as either Suniula, so what are the complaints being based on?? Who is the first line USA players that would be the difference in a win or a loss? Answer that someone.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[No offense to any of these guys, they all play at a level well beyond what I can play at, but Austrailia is a different class, all of their 30 are top level Pros, we only have 5 guys playing for top tier pro clubs(LaValla, Smith, Wyles, Z, and Patterson) And only two are playing in this game. If you thought Usasz and Malifa's poor ball handling and I'll timed kicking hurt us against Canada wait until you see what AAC, Quade Cooper, and Kurtley Beale do with those miscues. You can get away with sloppy box kicks against tier two teams with Z, Wyles, and Patterson chasing, but the Austrailians back line is built to be fast, elusive, and creative, you don't see the counter attacking ability these guys have when you are playing for Nottingham or Glendale.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm with James Douglas and Retired6, this lineup isn't as bad as some are making it out to be. Outside of Fry, the tight 5 is all first choice, or very close. The loose forwards aren't bad either, they all play fulltime and were battling for starting spots going into this summer. Usasz and Malifa have started numerous tests together. Swiryn and Scully have proven themselves and a lot of people might argue they are better options than A. Suniula. This is their shot, I think they will step up. Sifa is another seasoned pro, but I wish he had played more this summer. Only Fry, Enosa and Hawley are the true backups, the rest have all been regulars over the last two years. I think these boys will seize the opportunity and put in a good showing. Not saying it will be within 20, but they will work for 80 minutes and represent the Red, White and Blue with pride. Go Eagles!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think every one is still pulling for these guys and wishing them the best but I don't think there is any question that these 23 are being marched to a slaughter. For those pointing out that this team may be better than I originally suggested and that many of these guys are pros, or that Austrailia is also starting newer players, get real. Many of these guys are second tier pros in England, it is a big jump from Nottigham RFC to the Super 14 sides that the Austrailians play on. It is foolish to consider life players pros, I am sure their training environment is great and even if they do train in a pro environment. The don't play in one. The Austrailians train and play against other top pros every week. To suggest that it is equal because Austrailia is starting players with no WC experience is crazy, there is a big gap between Enosa jumping from Belmont shore to the WC and Horne coming from the Warratahs.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I, for one, am fully supporting this chosen team and the coach. All this bickering is useless. If you think you can coach better than O'Sullivan...apply for the job. If you think there are better players out there...get them seen by the Eagle selection staff. All of these player were chosen for the Eagles for 1 reason or another. I'm just hoping to see players tackle, make good decisions, and maybe steal a ball or 2. Win or lose, I'll be watching/cheering and hoping for the best.]]></description>
