GRR: No name
We do not have all of the information for the new USAR Fall 15s Championships sponsored by ACRA, but considering teams have qualified for playoffs that will occur in two weekends' time, we're publishing all of the information we do have.
While the USA Men’s 15s team is preparing to take on the All Blacks, a team that has faced New Zealand frequently, the USA Men’s 7s team, is hard at work getting ready for tournaments in Dubai and South Africa.
New Zealand captain Richie McCaw got to participate in a shoot the puck competition at Tuesday's Chicago Blackhawks game.
The All Blacks were guests at the game and have been feted nicely in Chicago (despite a cute piece in one newspaper noting that there was virtually no fanfare for the rugby superstars when they arrived at O'Hare Airport).
This week in Chicago is the culmination of an initiative to help grow youth and high school rugby in the region.
Yes the USA will play the All Blacks on Saturday, but there’s more going on. The AIG Rugby in a Box initiative was launched in Chicagoland, introducing the game to 200 schools and organizations.
The big question in the South Independent Rugby Conference is, what is going to happen to Florida International?
