Rugby: All Blacks arrive in USA

Excitement seems to be the in-word for the All Blacks as they build towards Sunday's historic first test against the USA Eagles in Chicago. All Blacks coach Steve Hansen used the word, or variations of it, several times, in his final press call before boarding the plane. "The northern tours the last couple of years ... we've not seen the same sort of excitement we've seen today. All bodes well," said Hansen. This does seem promising news given the All Blacks played some tired rugby on their 2013 northern tour, failing to capture the at times ethereal heights of their Rugby Championship brand of play.
