GRR: Rugby World Cup
The USA defeated Canada 52-16 in the second leg of the two-game Rugby World Cup to take the series and qualify as Americas #1 for the first time ever.
USA Rugby has announced the location for the second of the two-game Men's Rugby World Cup Qualifier against Canada.
The first leg will be played in Canada, and that venue has not been released yet. But the July 1 second leg will be played at Torero Stadium in San Diego, Calif. The Americas 1 seed will be decided based on aggregate score from those two games.
World Rugby has released its summer Test Match list, and this has confirmed the Rugby World Cup Qualifier games for the USA Men's National 15s team.
Jonah Lomu died today, November 17, a huge loss to the world rugby community. I thought I would just give you some thoughts about this player.
If you are young, you might not know who he was, perhaps you think he was just another one of those old guys. But Lomu, while the dominant wing in the game from 1994-1999, was much more than that.
Among the things we asked USA 15s Head Coach Mike Tolkin in our recent interview with him was whether he wanted to stay on as coach.
Tolkin said he definitely did, but knew that decision was in the hands of the Board. There’s still work to do, said Tolkin, and added that the team itself is going to undergo plenty of change.
