LA Rams coach hopes his NFL team never plays in Australia again
Los Angeles coach Sean McVay is thrilled his Rams' season opener at the MCG is behind them and hopes they do not ever do it again.
LA Rams head coach Sean McVay has expressed a desire for his team to never play another game in Australia, following a 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne. The NFL has signed a multi-year deal to host two games in Australia with the possibility of a third, but it is unclear which teams will participate. McVay, who touched down in Melbourne just 24 hours before the match, was unprepared for the long flight and the subsequent sluggish performance of his team.
The Rams were met with mixed reactions from the crowd, with some cheering and others booing as they took to the field. Coach McVay hopes that the memory of this game will fade from his mind and that the team will not have to endure another Australian tour.
