Let's hope not considering the drubbing they took. I don't follow the sport but 62-0 can't be good any way you look at it.

Rugby League World is really a joke. Only Australia and England play it professionally. There's one Kiwi team in the Australian competition but they have few followers because Rugby Union is the national sport.

Look at it more that the USA kept the Australians to only 62 points. Against the best team in the world it is a respectable score.

Some, but not all, some real Americans in there. Clint Newton was actually born in the US.

Rusty will be along soon to kick your arse on behalf of the current World Champions and all Kiwi league fans. ;)
