They will make their World Cup debut but aren't statistically the "worst" side in the tournament, that would be the Namibians who are ranked 20th but have been too a world cup before . Russia however, have not. I am worried for them, the USA aren't a fantastic side but could still bring them down and run over them with tries. And with the likes of Ireland, Australia and Italy in their group it looks a tough task ahead.But it doesn't stop there, in Russia's warmup game against Gloucester last month they scored one try and Gloucester came out with a fairly makeshift side and still beat the World Cup minnows by 47 points to 7.

As for the Eagles it doesn't look much better either. In their clash with Ireland they did put on a good show for about the first thirty minutes at least, but captain Todd Clever will certainly hope to spur on his side to a big victory.
Scrum Five's prediction: USA to win 28-12
