This is an Opinion Column by Alex Goff. As a follow-up to our earlier article about conflict over Varsity and JV, already we’ve received questions and comments and insights about the topic and the fact, apparently, the problem is bigger than initially reported.
NEW YORK (USA Rugby Release) – Play Rugby USA, in partnership with the Northeast Academy, has announced their first "Community Olympic Development Program" player assembly to promote the pathway for High School athletes to National Team selections. The first assembly of its kind will commence June 20 at Baker Field in New York.
USA Rugby looks to be set with their Men’s DI College 7s Championships field.
Saturday saw the final qualifier tournament, the Pacific Western Conference 7s, where non-conference participant St. Mary’s won, and Stanford finished highest among the conference teams.
So here’s the list of teams, and how they qualified:
LAFAYETTE, Colo. – World Rugby has expanded its World Rugby Council - the sport's governing body's governance assembly of nations - and it was announced today that the USA, Georgia, and Romania now have a seat at the table.
LAFAYETTE, Colo. - USA Rugby has announced that CEO Nigel Melville, who was slated to step down at the end of the year, is leaving at the end of June instead.
Melville was slated to transition to CEO of Rugby International Marketing, the supposed for-profit arm of USA Rugby. But now Melville will be joining the RFU to work as Director of Professional Rugby.
