For us Eagles, the potential gains help mask the pain of All Blacks defeat

Nov 2nd 2014, 16:56, by Mike Petri

The USA scrum-half Mike Petri believes the positives to come from their mauling by New Zealand will be felt long after the pain of defeat has subsided

On Saturday, I saw why the All Blacks are world champions: theyre just ruthless, punishing any and every mistake you make. They ran in 12 tries against us in Chicago and the scoreboard ended up at 74-6 Id say half their points or more came from Eagles errors. They were just lethal.

In the locker room before the game, I couldnt help thinking it was funny that just a couple of weeks before, Id been playing for New York Athletic Club in a park in Boston. And now here I was, about to play at Soldier Field against the All Blacks.
