GRR: Rugby World Cup
A quick, mobile, and very fit prop for the perennial champs Florida State, Colleen Fahey was a bit of a different breed of front row forward.
Dave Hodges was unstoppable.
An All American in football and rugby at Occidental, Hodges, like many of the top players from the late 1990s, came to the game late, but embraced it quickly. A cinder block of a man who could play lock, flanker, or No. 8, he was a leader by example, taking on the toughest jobs and the nastiest roles with no complaint, and perhaps even relish.
Auckland, NZL—The Rugby World Cup 2021 schedule has been announced with the USA Women set to play the opening match against Europe I on Friday, Sept 17.
Kickoff for that game will be at 7:45pm Eastern Time and will be held at the Northland Events Center in Whangarei New Zealand.
Paul Emerick is one of the greatest American outside backs.
Generally playing at outside center, the former University of Northern Iowa All American and later Chicago Lions was a favorite with fans because he never, ever backed down, was brutally honest about his performance good or bad, and was just plain fun to watch.
Takudzwa Ngwenya came to American from what he described as a very difficult life in Zimbabwe.
He came to attend college in Dallas, and was quickly noticed for speed and ability to break a game open. Green, skinny, shy, he emerged as a seasoned professional with strength as well as pace, and one of the most recognizable personalities in the American game.
