If the USA rugby team made it to the semi finals there be more mention of it on your screens. Its course the US team though they have improved from previous Cups are just not that good... yet. The USA needs to join our Test matches we have during the winter NZ, AUS, SA, etc., I think its up to the rugby board though but it would be good to have the USA as part of it just for the sake of rugby and the money they would bring into the game.
Same here with American football I love watching the game but its hardly mention in New Zealand just not popular, yet American football is played here.
