GRR: All-Time Americans
Patty Jervey was the first US woman to be named to the World Rugby Hall of Fame, and in fact she accomplished that feat before she was named to the US version.
Loren Hawley was widely considered one of the very best rugby players to suit up for Cal.
An openside flanker who was dominant in the lineout and athletic and physical all over the field, Hawley probably could have played anywhere from lock to flanker to No. 8 to center and still have an enormous impact on the game.
Ed "Mush" Graff was a Cal rugby player in the early part of the 20th Century.
It's kind of astounding that Mike MacDonald was a capped Eagle prop at 20, and while that has happened since, it's still a massive accomplishment.
One of rugby's most intelligent and accomplished individuals, Liz Kirk has excelled at everything she has done, from playing to coaching to her professional life to her medical career to her career as an educator and college professor.
