Australia A have run away with a big 61-12 win over a USA XV in Nashville, Tennessee, in the first of two meetings between the sides.

Australia A secured a comprehensive 61-12 victory over the USA XV in Nashville, Tennessee, in the first of two scheduled fixtures. The visiting side took an early 19-0 lead, although Australia A center David Feliuai was later issued a red card that left the team playing with a man disadvantage for 20 minutes. Despite the loss, Michael Baska and Mark O'Keeffe each crossed the try line for the USA XV during the first half.
USA XV captain Jason Damm and inside center Dominic Besag earned team-high ratings of 7/10 for their defensive work. Fly-half Chris Hilsenbeck received a 6.5 rating after setting up Baska's try. The two sides are scheduled to face off again the following week in New Jersey.
