Ireland v USA on 10th Anniversary of 9/11

[Curls]

I was just looking over the IRFU site and I spotted this fact. I dont know if that is a good or bad omen for the USA, but is worth mention. It may have already been spotted by some on here and maybe pointed out but I though I'd say so anyway.

I wonder if the occasion will be marked before kick-off, although I hope the USA dont use it an an oppertunity to sicken us with their brand of patriotism. I dont mean to in any way ridicule or downplay 9/11 but I just hope the game isnt overshadowed by it all.
I'm sure they will mark it!

Probably a minutes silence/players with black armbands
Respect shown, but shouldn't make it a massive thing, imo

USA will get destroyed by Ireland anyhow

Main US focus isnt on rugby as we well know so I think on reflection it wont be too over the top.

However Ireland will beat them well if they hope to compete at the RWC. It'll be a nice warm up for the Aussies. BP is a must here!
