GRR: World Rugby
GLENDALE, CO (January 19, 2024) – USA Rugby, Major League Rugby (MLR), and World Rugby have officially confirmed a strategic partnership to launch a new MLR expansion club in Charlotte, North Carolina, named Anthem Rugby Carolina (RC).
The new club will immediately join competition for the 2024 season, with American Legion Memorial Stadium serving as its match day home.
World Rugby has made some adjustments to the world schedule, but also today confirmed what had been hinted at by GRR for a while—the men's Rugby World Cup will be expanded to 24 teams for 2027 and beyond.
USA Rugby's Board of Directors quarterly open letter and it's a long report on what needs to be fixed and how that's done.
Legislating from the bench once again World Rugby continues to make new rules, or "guidelines" to fix the game, but could they just as well leave interpretations up to referees?
World Rugby today confirmed that the Final Qualification Tournament for Rugby World Cup 2023 will take place at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai from 6-18 November, 2022.
