USA SET TO SHOCK THE WORLD (in a real football sport )

 

The USA ran out comfortable winners against Wales in Wrexham, beating the Rugby League World Cup 2013 co-hosts 24-16 to extend their impressive recent winning run.

 

NRL player Clint Newton bagged two tries, with one each from Matthew Petersen, Tuisegasega Samoa and fellow NRL star Joseph Paulo to highlight the Tomahawks as one of the form teams in the tournament.  

They had to survive a late charge from the Welsh, who scored two tries to give the score line a look of respectability, but they were left to rue a number of earlier mistakes.

 

The sides were coming into this match on the back of opposite results, with Wales looking to bounce back from an opening-day defeat to Italy in Cardiff, while the USA were keen to continue the form which had seen them beat France in their RWLC2013 warm-up and the Cook Islands in Bristol, in their first ever World Cup fixture.

 

It was evident from the first minute that this was going to be a physical game, with each pack boasting some huge individuals. As they tested each other out in the opening minutes, Wales piled on the pressure and the USA were forced into some desperate defending.

On a personal note, I haven't heard this sort of good news since the Liberty Bell Cup in 2004 - USA vs Australia.
