GRR: Rugby World Cup
One of the USA players who made his mark in last week's victory over the French Barbarians is a player quite familiar with the opposition—David Ainu'u.
USA Men's 15s Head Coach Gary Gold has named his traveling squad to face the French Barbarians and later play in the two-game World Cup Qualifier series with Chile.
DUBLIN (USA Rugby Release) – Today, the World Rugby Council voted to officially select the United States as the host nation of the 2031 Men’s Rugby World Cup and the 2033 Women’s Rugby World Cup.
GLENDALE, Colo.(USA Rugby Release)—Today the United States Rugby World Cup Bid Committee, in conjunction with USA Rugby, announced a proposed framework for ensuring that hosting the Men’s and Women’s Rugby World Cup tournaments in 2031 and 2033 respectively would create sustainable long-term growth of the sport in the United States.
World Rugby CEO Alan Gilpin spent some days in the USA recently talking with the USA Rugby World Cup bid group and USA Rugby in a series of talks dubbed The Exclusive Targeted Dialogue.
Gilpin toured the Denver Broncos' stadium—Empower Field at Mile High— and while there's no connection to that tour and today's fire at the stadium, maybe some sparks of a positive nature flew.
