Why Joe Taufete'e Isn't With USA Team This Week

Where Did Joe T Go?

The USA Men's 15s team will be without possibly their most in-form player, as hooker Joe Taufete'e, who scored two tries against Scotland, will be absent.

FloRugby's own Phaidra Knight caught up with Taufete'e before last week's Scotland game to ask him about what is a very important non-rugby task he has to take care of.

His wife is expecting, and at the same time, her visa has cleared so she can join Taufete'e in England, where he plays for Worcester. She has a short window of time in which to travel before her doctors forbid it, so the move has to happen this week. 

For Joe T, it's all about family.
