Yep.
I don't have direct evidence, but some guys may have, just like some guys on our clubs may have.
I've heard some questionable stories, but that's about it, so I won't accuse them of juicing; I will also refrain from attributing their success to juicing or other means, because there are a number of other factors that go into their success like a more rigorous training regimen, facilities, hired coaching staff, recruiting budget, etc.

Yeah, I'm sure they have a few that do, just as most other competitive clubs do.
Doesn't USA Rugby have a testing program? Better to get someone in the camp and give them benefit of the doubt instead of just blacklisting the whole club.

True, but I'm not sure if USAR tests. And I just heard from people who talked to people about that situation, but it makes sense.

It was great that we beat the circular bacon boys and are going to NZ, but we had better find a little more offense.
I like the rucking game, but Hercus is not the best kicker in the world, and we will need something more in attack from our back line.

Our guys need it get it together and not knock the ball on every time they get inside the 22.
If Zee is selected again, he needs to find work offensively (assuming he finds his hands).
I'm not sure what happened to Salesi Sika, but I would like to see Emerick at #12 and Swiryn (dude was a beast) at #13.
Canada's #8, Aaron Carpenter, is out for Saturday's game with a broken arm. I really hope the Eagles can put together another inspired defensive effort to beat the Canucks on their home turf.

The good news is that we will have time to retool our backline prior to the World Cup. I would LOVE to see us playing more open, running rugby similar to the style that France used to play, but that's not O'Sullivan's style. Unfortunately for him, Hercus <<<<<<< O'Gara, so he's either going to have to go with a different flyhalf in the RWC or change our game plan. I get the impression that right now, we're just keeping it simple and feeling out who we have in the current pool before making some changes and getting our RWC squad together.

I used to play. Old Aztecs of SCRFU basically took me in and taught me the game. It was only for a couple of years, but I had a great time, and really enjoyed it.
TH Prop, mostly seconds, but one notable game I cracked the starting 15 of the first team, and was voted forward of the match. Highlight of my brief but rewarding experience.
All that was back around the turn of the century though.

I could have written anything and it wouldn't have mattered. No one was on here during the game.
