They're not quite that bad! We'll put them away with comfort, but USA would be solid mid-table in the Prem.

Is that a joke that I don’t get?

No? Redders suggested the USA side were so bad that they'd be beaten by the team that was bottom of the Prem by a distance, and I said they were better than that and, by my estimation, they would probably end up mid-table if they were to compete in the Premiership.

I am confused by your confusion.

Really?

Honestly, that’s doing the Premiership a big injustice. As we all know, there’s very little to choose between the play-off contenders and the mid table clubs.

MacGinty is the USA’s best player by a distance. Would you see them beating Quins, Saints, Gloucester etc? I don’t.

I honestly thought it had to be some sort of joke I wasn’t getting.

They have two players playing outside of the USA. Pifeleti and McGinty. Pifeleti made a handful of starts for Sarries in 6 years. Ruben de Haas is their starting 9- again couldn’t get close to being a prem 9 at any point.

Solid mid prem would put them above Falcons, Exeter, Saints and Quins last season. There’s absolutely no chance. Honestly don’t think they would get anywhere near beating a single side if they were in the prem last season (not even Newcastle).
