Just wanted to remind everyone that the mighty All Blacks will be playing the USA Eagles in a rare test match on American soil - not this weekend, but next. November 1st.

Steve Hansen hasn't named the side yet, but the squad leaves for Chicago this weekend with all the big names there.
Apparently the game is sold out, so that's good.

Here's a video to get you in the mood...

nzlockie: This will be very lopsided. I'm just learning the name of our rugby team

Blackflag: Although, both the IRB and the All Blacks themselves have a major vested interest in making this game as competitive as possible. I don't think they'll go as far as letting the USA score a try, but I do think they'll be told to not play too hard, and I expect a lot of subs to happen early in the second half.

I'm picking, 34 - 6 to the ABs.

I'm more looking forward to the rwc in 2015. Bring that on!
I'm not sure if I trust anyone who doesn't have their face as their profile.

Well that was a stomping. A predictable stomping, but still a stomping.

74 - 6. Turns out the "greatest sporting nation on earth" might need to reevaluate their marketing of they decided to do a repeat of this game.

nzlockie: Haha. Brilliant. I'm surprised the aussies haven't claimed them as their own yet anyway.
