@ratsapprentice: Thanks for the link!
Really interesting match. It's seems that San Diego started showing the differences that were on paper.

PS: I think It would be excelent if we can keep all the information related with the matches in only one thread.

Jersey designs are very disappointing...

 

[argie]

Not all of them. Only Ohio for my taste. It's like a football jersey. But the alternative jersey (grey and blue) isn't ugly.
San Diego is strange.
The others are fine.

Phil Mackenzie has written a great piece about San Diego/Pro Rugby in the USA in general here:
http://www.theplayerstribune.com/2016-5-20-phil-mackenzie-american-rugby-league/

Well worth the read

 

[CocoPampas]

Thanks for the link.
It supports the general assumption that they were rushing in order to take advantage of the right timing.
Also, confirms that this first season is more like a proof of concept, and we will see a big expansion next year.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Great article!

It's very positive to see someone who's been part of a top domestic setup be so positive about it, hugely promising.
