Yes USA has a rugby team but they have absolutely no chance of winning the WC.
All the matches are shown live in the UK but rugby is not as popular as the TV stations lead you to belive, and is regionalised in the UK. Only in certain areas does the sport thrive. Internationals are well supported and as England are favourites to win the World Cup, these televised matches will draw a larger audience, but all in all the country is certainly not gripped by rugby fever.
