    Leicester Tigers v NRFL Rough Riders at Lincoln Financial Field on Aug 8

    The Texans are an NFL team. Outside of a couple MLB stadiums, you can get regular season MLB tickets for under $15 in the cheap seats for most games. But they also play 162 games each year in baseball.

    NRFL Combine in United States Ready to Roll on April 5-6th

    ORothlain, I don't disagree but there is a ton of undiscovered, untapped talent in this country. Look at how Samu Manoa has gone from basically a good American club player to a superstar at Northampton and soon Toulon. Or perhaps even more dramatically, Ahmad Harajly who just managed to make...

    USA Club Rugby

    So will he be playing this year? I was under the impression that his family's business was coming first over rugby these days. I wouldn't take that roster to be current BTW.

    Could be wrong but I don't think Paterson played for Glendale in the PRP last year.

    [2014 Mid-Year Test] U.S.A. vs. Scotland 07/06/14

    The scrumhalf situation is laughable at this point. Tolkin only brought 1 other specialist scrumhalf into a camp of 40 players! He's gone all in on Petri and it's pathetic at this point. Anyone watching can see Petri is just not good enough anymore. Check out this gif that Usausa posted on the...

    2014 Asian Five Nations (RWCQ)

    Bakakumon, I'm aware that Gregory has rejected the idea in the past. But it's pretty unambitious from him. Perhaps the new chairman will be a bit more ambitious. Having a HK, and perhaps a Seoul, team in the Top League might be the deciding factor for whether or not the IRB awards Asia a spot...

    Starting a team - could use some help

    Where in the US are you? Most clubs tend to use group emails and Facebook pages to get info out for scheduling and such.

    How about Hong Kong entering a team into the Top League?

    English clubs threaten USA - All Blacks in Chicago

    A sellout is unlikely but I don't think it's out of the question. The Maori pulled an 18.5k sell out in Philly last year and Ireland pulled 20k in Houston, but those matches mostly pulled rugby fans regionally. This will pull fans nationally and indeed it's got a ton of buzz on social media from...

    English clubs threaten USA - All Blacks in Chicago

    You can add a close follower of American rugby to those who know the test window was not in effect for the USA-Canada PNC match last year.

    German Rugby

    Hockey, or ice hockey as you heathens call it, has a good sized following in Germany too. I'd love for Germany to break through, but some of the Eastern European countries where there are less competing sports, such as Moldova, are more likely to break through. If you're looking for a Western...

    2014 Junior World Rugby Trophy

    I'm not shocked they lost either, but it's pretty disappointing to give up the bonus point win to them when we hadn't allowed a single try in the first two matches. I disagree about going up though. The core of this team returns next year, including the props, the halfbacks and the openside...

    2014 Junior World Rugby Trophy

    But they haven't punched above their weight historically. Last year they came last, losing to Chile, Uruguay and Portugal. I'm sure playing at the big SA rugby schools helps them, but any way you slice it, losing to last year's JWRT wooden spoon is disappointing for Canada.

    2014 Junior World Rugby Trophy

    I would buy that, except for the fact that Namibia has been poor at this level. Since the IRB reorganized the JWC and JWRT by reducing the JWC from 16 to 12 teams, Namibia: 2013: finished dead last in the JWRT, with losses to Chile, Uruguay and Portugal. 2012: Did not qualify. Zimbabwe was...

    2014 Junior World Rugby Trophy

    Usausa, I'm helping coach a high school team for the first time as well and find myself in the exact same battles. Is there any rugby below the high school level in Mass? In Colorado, we have something called Try Rugby that runs all the way down to U7s. There are different law variations for...
