About this listen

In this episode of the A&D Podcast, Austin and Dietrich dive into what can only be described as a rough weekend for USA Rugby. First, the hosts break down the Eagles' disappointing start to the Women’s World Cup, where England showcased its dominance and left the USA struggling to find answers on the pitch. From missed opportunities to glaring execution issues, Austin and Dietrich highlight what went wrong and what needs to change if the women want to bounce back in the tournament.


Then, attention shifted to the men’s side, who stumbled out of the gate in their opening Pacific Nations Cup match against Canada. In what was supposed to be a chance to make a statement, the men instead delivered a lackluster showing that raised serious questions about preparation, depth, and direction for USA Rugby as a whole.


The hosts discuss the common threads in both performances, share their frustrations as longtime supporters of the game, and debate whether the Eagles are facing a temporary dip or a much larger problem within the system.
