Jack Hanratty

And it's the question that, you know, I'll be honest, I go to sleep asking it to myself when I wake up and I'm asking it to myself as well.

And, you know, I think sort of Jack Hanratty of the USA Women's Eagles head coach sort of said it best where he doesn't expect the Red Roses to do anything particularly different.

He actually expects them to do more of the same.

And, you know, you can kind of see that in the England team selection.

Bill and Fitzy will be right back.

And now, back to the show!

Joe, that's a good question there because I wanted to ask, right, because there were some circles where when it was announced that USA Rugby had hired Jack Hanratty as the head coach, and he's been on this program a couple times since, but people are like, who's this Irish guy who's coaching the Canadian sevens women's team? Like, why are we getting another sevens coach for 15s? It seems like, I guess, does it seem like he's kind of maybe cast off those doubters, those naysayers, just based upon the last few results?

I think, obviously, to be honest, yes, is the really short answer.

I mean, I don't think that those results necessarily reflect at what could happen, um, in these next two games.

I think this is their first contest against Italy under Head Coach Jack Hanratty, and it just seems like a different team right now than it has been.

Um, and the Tolesa Uutai storyline, I mean, it's one of the absolute best, I think.

A- and to see her go from high school club rugby to college rugby, and while still in college playing for the Eagles, and getting to do it on her home Texas turf, uh, that's phenomenal.

but honestly, that's the only way that I could tell.

Now, I have a Julia theory that is only backed up by my own- ... pattern noticing and the way that Jack Hanratty talks.

Um, the way that he talks, it does seem like he is very interested in setting up systems around young players.

I completely disagree that, oh, I guess technically, like, Ca- Cass is no spring chicken, okay.
