‘We’ve got to win three games in Dubai’: US Eagles face last Rugby World Cup chance

If the Americans are to avoid missing the finals for the first time since 1995, Bryce Campbell's team must beat Kenya, Hong Kong and Portugal on successive weekends

Bryce Campbell is not keen to linger on the defeat by Chile which sent the US Eagles to the Rugby World Cup Final Qualification Tournament which starts in Dubai on Sunday. Naturally, the Indianapolis-born centre would rather focus on Kenya, Hong Kong and Portugal, who the US must beat if they are not to miss a World Cup for the first time since 1995.

No American really wants to think too much about the loss to Chile in July, other than as a very harsh lesson indeed.
