At Goff Rugby Report we give a lot of credence to a team's tough schedule when it comes to rankings.
So the USA Olympic squad has been picked, and if you missed it, here it is:
Perry Baker - Wing
Danny Barrett - Prop
Garrett Bender - Prop
Andrew Durutalo - Prop/Hooker
Nate Ebner - Prop/Hooker/Center (?)
Madison Hughes - Halfback and Sweeper
Carlin Isles - Wing
Folau Niua - Halfback
Ben Pinkelman - Prop/Hooker
Dan Payne was named USA Rugby's CEO today, July 5, and if you fit into most of Goff Rugby Report's demographic, you might voice a collective "so what?"
USA Rugby announced today that COO Jim Snyder will step in as interim CEO.
This likely means that there won't be an announcement soon of a new permanent CEO. That was stated in the release, which said such announcement would be made "in due course."
So a little note in praise of Mike Te’o.
Mike Te’o came to national prominence a few years ago, when Belmont Shore Head Coach Ray Egan said to me and colleague Pat Clifton that he had a U19 player who was good enough to play for his men’s team. He’s a n odd player, said Eagan, because he’s a hooker, who can play center, and we’ve got him playing on the wing.
