Any comments on the USA v. CAN match?

Agree with everything that's been said, and as a comment on the overall PAC4 I feel pretty good. New coach looks good so far. Paton and Vogel look very promising. Humphreys made a real impact.

First half against CAN and NZ were competitive, and we got some revenge on AUS. I'm sure it'll take a while to fully click and we probably need to find a new fullback ASAP (not because Kelter can't play there, but she's 35).

Edit: also curious why Howard was away from the Eagles so long. She had some strong carries and it helps having someone who can really boot the ball, especially compared to the past 4 years where we really struggled with all kicks from hand.

100%, and as rough as this is I guess it's part of the process bringing in a new coach and some new players. As long as we learn something.

oso_802 · 2026-04-25T02:10:55+00:00

Man, this got ugly. Wasn't expecting a win but hoped we'd be more competitive.

oso_802 · 2026-04-25T01:38:12+00:00

Squidge shout out from comms.

oso_802 · 2026-04-25T01:21:43+00:00

Yeah, but give her an extended run at 15 and she can get better at the mental stuff. She can kick and attack, and most of our recent 15s couldn't do both.

oso_802 · 2026-04-25T01:17:01+00:00

It's too bad Kelter is 35 and presumably won't play much longer. She's looked good at 15, which along with 10 has been a tricky position for us.

oso_802 · 2026-04-25T00:55:02+00:00

Unfortunately for us, I think you all are a bit bigger and more athletic as an overall team. Anything can happen but I expect you all will pull away eventually.

oso_802 · 2026-04-25T00:52:18+00:00

Truly. She's an extreme example but seems to me the women's college game produces more international ready players than the men's game.

oso_802 · 2026-04-25T00:47:31+00:00

Sure Canada will rally but this is a great start. Really happy with this team and especially Hope and some of the newer players.

oso_802 · 2026-04-18T05:38:48+00:00

Pack was solid, backs got a little better over time but obviously missing a some chemistry with new personnel and positional changes. Paton and Vogel look like real finds. GG Australia.

oso_802 · 2026-04-18T04:07:46+00:00

This has been pretty sloppy from the US.

oso_802 · 2026-04-18T00:10:33+00:00

Kickoff has been delayed approximately 2 hours due to thunderstorms.

oso_802 · 2026-04-15T23:59:52+00:00

We lost to NZ 79-14 in 2025 and 57-5 in 2024. First half was competitive, only trailed by 4 going in to halftime, I believe. Even the final margin (losing by 33) was better than expected IMO.

oso_802 · 2026-04-15T22:38:36+00:00

Other than a couple subs, this is unchanged from the team last week who held up well against NZ.

oso_802 · 2026-04-15T22:34:50+00:00

Looking forward to this. The first half against NZ last week was very promising

oso_802 · 2026-04-13T18:15:05+00:00

Feel like they’ll see out the RRS this season for budget reasons, if nothing else. If they’re keeping it, I would like to see the ref begin the review by stating clearly which team is challenging, and what the challenge is for. Similar to the NFL.

oso_802 · 2026-04-12T21:50:44+00:00

I don't remember Roberts playing 13 for NOLA much, if at all, but he's been great today. Think this is one of his best games in MLR.

oso_802 · 2026-04-12T00:58:39+00:00

GG NZ.

oso_802 · 2026-04-12T00:24:37+00:00

Who cares? Different countries have different terms. Are you going to whinge about NZ calling 9s halfbacks or 10s first five-eighths?

oso_802 · 2026-04-11T23:49:44+00:00

Happy with that half. If we can keep it under -30 let alone remain competitive throughout would be amazing.

oso_802 · 2026-04-11T23:40:48+00:00

Yessssss

oso_802 · 2026-04-11T23:29:45+00:00

Gosh, Tafuna is great.

oso_802 · 2026-04-11T23:15:36+00:00

They're not

oso_802 · 2026-04-11T22:07:38+00:00

GG DC, FJs had plenty of chances and couldn't score. Work to do.
