Three uncapped players have been included. Utah flanker Bailey Wilson and his clubmate Joe Mano, a winger, along with SaberCats flyhalf or fullback Line Latu. Wilson and Latu each toured Europe in August but did not appear in the test series.
Nice to see a good cohort of MLR players making their way into the squad here alongside some capped MLR players. It's good validation of the league's goal of improving domestic talent in the USA for the national team.
I'm excited to see what Scott Lawrence can do with the team, Its going to be damn hard to out coach the financial issues USA Rugby has, but he knows the landscape of the sport in the US so I think he can pull it off. Plus I was a bit RATL fan so I'll always be a fan of his.
