The U.S.A. Eagles had a good showing at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. The squad notched a win against Russia while showing valiantly against world powers Ireland and Australia as well as Italy.
During the tournament, Eagles Mike Petri kept fans informed on the latest from inside the team camp with his blog. The scrum-half put in a fine performance on the pitch playing in all four matches and scoring a try against Russia.
And to wrap up the time in New Zealand, Petri has included some of his personal photos from the trip.
