The final details about the team's stay cannot be confirmed, but it seems likely the US team will stay in Bowral in the lead up to their final pool match.

The Eagles play France in Wollongong on Friday, Ocotber 30 and they are expected to be based in Bowral at some time during the lead up to the crucial match.

Bowral Blacks president Val Tyson said negotiations are still being finalised and exact dates couldn't be released for security reasons, but he remains confident the US team will spend some time in the Highlands during the month long tournament.

"If it actually does come off we'll be very proud to host them," Tyson said.

"To host a World Cup team would not only be a boost for rugby in the area, but it would be a great thing for the district in general.

"It's a great thing for the area and something of the like has probably been seen in the area before."

The US Eagles meets Pool B heavyweights France at WIN Stadium, Wollongong on Friday, October 30 in a very important match.

USA have been drawn in the same pool as France, Scotland, Fiji and Japan and depending on how their earlier results go, the USA may need to upset the 1999 finalists in their final pool match to stay in the World Cup.

The United States has played in three of the four World Cups, but they are yet to shake off their minnow status and progress past the pool stage.

They were the 24th and final team to qualify for this year's event, after missing out on direct qualification through the American Zone.

This meant the Eagles had to play a home and away repechage series against Spain to qualify for rugby's biggest event.

The side did it with ease, beating Spain 62-13 in Madrid, before thrashing Spain 58-13 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida late last month.

The team's tour itinerary has yet to be finalised, but it is hoped the US team can make a couple of public appearances to help promote the game of rugby in the Southern Highlands, if they do come here to stay.
