Tomorrow is the big game. The US Eagles play Uruguay at Stanford University for a place in next year’s Rugby World Cup. Details here. Admission is free.

Well actually, having thrashed Uruguay 43-13 in Montevideo last weekend, all the Eagles need to do to qualify is avoid losing by more than 29 points. But it is better to go into the tournament with a positive statement, right?

And assuming that they do qualify, the Eagles get to play in a group with England, South Africa, Samoa and one qualifier yet to be decided. South Africa will be tough (hi Grant!) and the Samoans are big and determined. England should be a push-over the way they have been playing of late.

So, no need to spend all weekend at Silicon. Get out there and support your team.
