USA Rugby CEO Bill Gorne announced today that USA Rugby's dues will increase.
With some big events on US soil on the horizon, starting with the PNC test matches and extending to the 2028 Olympics and 2031 and 2033 Rugby World Cups, Goren said the organization needs to put more effort into spreading the love of the game.
A Column by Alex Goff (transcribed from the below video)—One of the things that keeps coming up that people want to talk to me about on a regular basis is the Rugby World Cup—Not the one that's happening for the women in just a couple of months, not the one that's happening for the men just a couple of years, but the one that's coming around in six years which is going to be hosted by the USA.
Was the USA's loss to England a big old problem?
We don't think so. Losing a test match 40-5 is not exactly rare. Just take a look at these results from July:
England beat the USA Saturday night in front of over 19,000 in yet another lightning-interrupted test match, putting two different kinds of exclamation points on the midsummer games for both teams.
In front of a new record crowd for a USA Women's home test match, the Eagles beat Fiji Saturday in DC in a game that was much, much closer than it needed to be.
Five tries to three saw the Eagles home 31-24, but they did squander a 26-7 lead and, had they executed a bit better, could have run away with it in front of 15,198 at Audi Field.
