The USA play the first of two tests on their European tour at Lisbon on Sat-
urday afternoon against Portugal, with a non-test match against Scotland A
next weekend followed by a test against Georgia at the end of the month.
Portugal will face Namibia and Canada over the next two weeks.
The two sides have only met once before, when the United States won 61-5
in Lisbon in 1998 with right wing Vaea Anitoni scoring four of their nine
tries. Anitoni is the leading try scorer in USA test match history with 26 tries
and that was the second time he scored four tries in a test match after do-
ing the same against Japan in a 74-5 win in July 1996.
Portugal are currently 22nd in the IRB World Rankings but could move up
a place if they win this weekend and Uruguay fail to win their Rugby World
Cup play off match at home to Romania.
The USA are 15th in the rankings and cannot move up with a win but they
will drop a place below Tonga if they lose to Portugal on Saturday.
The Eagles have won five out of eight matches played since EDDIE
O’SULLIVAN took over as Head Coach in March 2009 and have moved up
four places in the IRB World Rankings under his stewardship as well as
qualifying for the 2011 Rugby World Cup after beating Uruguay at home
and away in November 2009, helped by three tries from left wing KEVIN
SWIRYN.
This will be the first test match Portugal have played under new Head
Coach ERROL BRAIN, who replaced TOMAZ MORAIS in September. Brain is
a former New Zealand Maori captain who has coached in Japan and at club
level in his native country.
The man in the middle
JP DOYLE of England is in charge of this match. He officiated at the 2010 IRB
Junior World Championships and has not been involved with either of these
two sides previously.
