I think our new coach did make a deal like that with USA Rugby. Maybe we can get past the first round in the next World Cup. We are getting better every year but it may be another 10 years or so before we are there. Note, soccer and rugby are not promoted here at young ages like it is in other countries. Soccer has really boomed in growth and interests, unlike rugby, but both sports have a ways to go before they reach the popularity like they do in these other countries.

I believe that we are now producing the kids who will have the skills. I don't believe we are creating and organization to use those skills wisely.

That IS the problem. Same in rugby. We aren't creating an organization to use the skills because there already is an organization in place for both sports that is disfunctional. It is huge, it gets lots of money from players, parents, and sponsors. The problem is it is filled with old guard and people who are self serving controlling mofo's
