Where Things Stand
However it got revolting on occasion — a heavy deluge and a mud-obstructed pitch at the Estadio Santa Laura didn’t help — the Eagles’ thin 22-21 success in the away leg in Santiago was colossal toward their World Cup capability trusts.
Set forth plainly, a success or a draw this end of the week at Infinity Park in Glendale, Colorado get the job do in getting the U.S. back to the top stage in worldwide rugby. It would be their seventh consecutive capability and ninth generally speaking, however with the Americans being weighty top picks to take care of business, a touch of extra moxie in the return leg would presumably be valued by the home group.
If the Eagles do indeed get the job done, they’ll punch their ticket to a brutal Pool D in France next fall against the 2019 World Cup runner-up (England), another two top-10-ranked in Argentina and Japan, and Samoa, who the U.S. is 2-5 all-time against.
But if Chile shocks America on their own turf and sets in stone its first ever trip to the Rugby World Cup, that would mean the Eagles would send to the Final Qualification Tournament later this year where they must outlast a group of Portugal, Kenya and either Tonga or Hong Kong for a spot in Pool C, which features Australia, Wales, Fiji and Georgia.
The goal is straightforward as it can get for coach Gary Gold’s Eagles: win and they’re in.
United States
World positioning (starting around 7/11): seventeenth
Rugby World Cup appearances: 1987, 1991, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019
The lowdown: Should the U.S. feel disheartened that it didn’t have a seriously ruling showcase in the main leg? Perhaps, however taking into account the a lot of unessential elements — frightful climate, arena lights in a real sense going out — it’s a net positive by and large that the Eagles will not need to play from behind in the cordial limits of rural Denver.
A backbone at the Rugby World Cup, the U.S. is presently on the verge of successfully returning to the mountain ridge by and by — and it could secure the accomplishment before home allies. One of the primary distinctions between this group and the one that played quite a while back in Japan, notwithstanding, is that there are a lot of new faces that could have an effect in France.
Wing Christian Dyer is a great representation. The 6-foot-2 24-year-old and Houston SaberCats star actually appeare the previous summer, having proactively made certain about a spot in the Eagles XV, scoring an early attempt in the main leg against Chile simultaneously.
Generally, 16 individuals from the 34-man crew have under 10 covers for the Eagles, two of which — Dyer and whore Kapeli Pifeleti — crossed the attempt line in Santiago. In any case, there’s a lot of veteran initiative in the blend like AJ MacGinty (America’s driving scorer at the beyond two World Cups) and back line Cam Dolan, who formally turned into the most dominating U.S. global ever (30 test wins) after the Eagles beat Chile.
Gold strategically balances the young and veterans. And it could take the South African to his subsequent World Cup on the Eagles touchline.
Chile
World positioning (starting around 7/11): 24th
Rugby World Cup appearances: None
The lowdown: There’s no glossing over it. Chile needs a minor marvel to seal a spot at the World Cup right now.
Regardless, the longshot Los Condores have invested some courageous energy to arrive at this point. And have proactively disturbed a World Cup backbone once this capability cycle. Taking out Canada this previous October as the Canucks will pass up the competition without precedent for their set of experiences.
Beating the U.S. in Colorado — where the Eagles have won the two qualifiers played there. Will be a difficult task, be that as it may. The Chileans are brimming with quality players and can be risky, however, making it conceivable that the test will be cutthroat in sprays. An extraordinary model is fly-half Rodrigo Fernandez’s top notch 80-meter attempt against the Americans in Santiago, a unimaginable run that saw the 26-year-old juke and jive past an Eagles’ safeguard across a soaked pitch.
A strong 32-man unit wherein everything except seven players apply their exchange at club level for Chilean club Selknam.
Mentor Pablo Lemoine’s men will be public legends in the event. That they meet all requirements for the World Cup in any design. Notwithstanding assuming that it’s via beating the U.S. or on the other hand winning the Final Qualification Tournament.
In any case, Chile is 1-5 all-time against the Eagles and holds a less 212 point differential against the group. Having battled powerfully previously.
Regardless of whether that pattern holds up this end of the week in the return leg. Chilean rugby’s day in the sun could come soon enough.
