South Africa are so awful, it is genuinely amusing. They're as bad as their rugby league team (maybe not that bad)!

As now we come across the world

USA have become the 13th nation to book their place at the 2019 Rugby World Cup. The Eagles thrashed Canada 52-16 in the second leg of their World Cup qualifying play-off in San Diego last night. The first leg in Canada ended in a draw, 28-28.

 

This will be the USA's 8th appearance in the Rugby World Cup, only missing the 1995 World Cup in South Africa. USA goes into the pool of death alongside England, France and Argentina.

 

Canada will play Uruguay in a play-off in early 2018 with the winner of that tie securing their spot at the 2019 World Cup.

 

Congrats to the Eagles :USA

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
