O’Sullivan ‘disappointed’ as US lose to neighbours Canada

EDDIE O’SULLIVAN’S US Eagles suffered a setback in their build-up towards next month’s Rugby World Cup after losing 28-22 to neighbours Canada in Toronto on Saturday.

The Canadians had been trailing 15-10 to Ireland’s Pool C rivals at half time but rallied in the second half courtesy of tries from Phil Mackenzie and Aaron Carpenter.

Played in front of a record rugby crowd of 10,621 fans at the BMO Field, it was the first of a two-Test series, the return clash set for next Saturday evening in Colorado.
