Once the US starts developing rugby at elementary school level the same way we do, you guys will have a tier one team in 10 - 15 years. Some of the school you can check out are Paarl Boys High, Paarl Gymnasium, Grey College, Oakdale, Grey (Port Elizabeth), and Paul Roos Gymnasium.

American "sports" are a joke and everyone knows it. Baseball and hand-egg both suffer the American virus which is commercialization. A regular hand-egg match consists of 83% commercials.. Take football or Rugby and see how much commercial DURING the game there is.. I'd say close to absolutely none, though I have seen some handball where they do split-screen during timeout for commercial(silent ones, we still get to hear the refs during timeout). I don't like it but they never stop showing the match so that's at least good.

[@timnewman7591]

For the USA doing better (although they don't start off well), their match against Scotland in Houston 2018 is a good watch. That was actually a good year for US rugby. Sadly the World Cup in 2019 was a disaster, they didn't perform at all and went home with four defeats and the least tries of any team in the competition. And in qualifying for the next World Cup, they lost over two legs to Uruguay (to be fair Uruguay are the No.2 side in south America. beat Fiji in 2019 and are improving rapidly) so will have to go through more playoffs to qualify (which they should, but you can't be sure). Part of the issue is the Eagles recently have rarely play matches with teams on their level. Ideally competitive ones, though those have been hard to come by in the last few years. Hopefully the Americeas Rugby Championship will restart properly, but there's very little the USA can learn from being thrashed by New Zealand (their next match) or tours where the play England and Ireland and get heavily beaten (as they did this summer). Winning close matches with teams with less prestige but comparable quality would be a lot more useful for developing players. Sadly I think there's a certain arrogance that the USA is a big country and should be playing the big teams even if that means frequent heavy defeats.

[@Lungi3]

I think the separation of elite and other teams is slowing down the progress of other teams. There is a separation between the top teams (maybe top 10) and other teams in all years except for the RWC year. And that divide is massive and this shows in the results. There needs to be a way to improve those teams players. Maybe inclusion in high level tournaments like Super Rugby or Heineken Champions Cup, or more tests between the two groupings

[@Narapoia1]

Even including the national teams in some of the club level competitions would be good. USA playing in the URC with the SA super rugby sides and some of the Welsh, Irish and Scottish clubs would help immensely. That's basically what the Jaguares were prior to Covid in the old Super Rugby competition. Can be grueling for a small player pool but might help expand interest in the US and also give them some exposure to decent ongoing club level games.

Most schools in South Africa make you take 2 sports compulsory. It’s usually rugby and cricket or soccer for the guys. Meaning our guys start playing from grade 1 (6 years old)

Go for it mate!..You got the right attitude!..But you only get better with time, and experience..It will come! Right now, your kittens in amongst the lions!..Rugby is growing around the world rapidly, it's an olympic sport now..You have to go into the high country, find some players whose knuckles drag on the ground, smothered in hair and grunt a lot!..Have them strategically shaved and into rugby kit, rumour is, thats what we've all done!..You can always pick a rugby player, we've all got bent noses and no front teeth!

This is one of the fastest rugby players I've seen and he is American. Carlin Isles is an American rugby union player who plays for the United States national rugby sevens team. With 202 tries, Isles is first for the United States in career tries scored, ahead of teammate Perry Baker. Isles has been touted as the fastest rugby player. Wikipedia

With the success of Major League Rugby in the USA I reckon the USA team will be much better by the next world cup. Playing alongside experienced international players will have helped them learn. This last season of MLR was really good, the teams improved so much as the season progressed.

I think it will be simualr to Cougars or Italy, it will develop over time, but still be vulnerable to funding / politics. Cananda had issue too. They could have been much further on but the structure has made it hard for them.
