Rugby

Tonga dumps U.S. at Rugby World Cup

Filed under: Rugby

The U.S. squad's apparent best shot at victory in the ongoing Rugby World Cup fizzled out this morning against the mighty Tongans. The Americans were a slight favorite going into the contest owing to their surprisingly strong showing against England in their opening match, but were put down 25-15 by the tiny south Pacific country. I'm pretty much clueless about rugby, but have nothing but respect for a sport that features players such as Tonga's Finau Maka, who apparently prepares for matches by banging his head against a wall. The U.S. will have two weeks off before taking on Samoa.
