GRR: Rugby World Cup
Barb Bond was the quintessential No. 8 and an inspiration to young rugby players as women's rugby came to the fore in the 1980s and 1990s.
Kort Schubert earned his first cap at the age of 20, and was one of the many players to go from Jesuit in Sacramento to Cal to the Eagles.
He was a talent and wide-ranging openside flanker for the USA and was capped 49 times over a nine-year career.
Is he the most intense rugby player the USA ever produced? There have been a lot of intense men and women, but it's hard to imagine anyone outworking Tom Billups.
After the 2023 Rugby World Cup draw in Paris, Goff Rugby Report had the time to catch up with Claude Atcher, who is the CEO of the 2023 RWC Organizing Committee.
We asked him about plans for the World Cup in France, about the plans to make some changes for the Tier 2 competitors, and a new plan to pay for every team to stay in France for the entire tournament.
The pools for the 2023 Men's 15s Rugby World Cup have been confirmed.
We still don't know exactly where the USA will be playing because they have yet to go through the qualification process, but none of the pools provides an easy path.
