A group of Native American rugby players is looking to field a rugby team to face a team of indigenous Australian Aboriginal players touring the USA.
Among the things we asked USA 15s Head Coach Mike Tolkin in our recent interview with him was whether he wanted to stay on as coach.
Tolkin said he definitely did, but knew that decision was in the hands of the Board. There’s still work to do, said Tolkin, and added that the team itself is going to undergo plenty of change.
While the University of Buffalo has a big game this weekend against St. Bonavanture, they will be without one of their most electric players, as Ike Onwukanjo, along with his brother, Onye, will be in South Africa.
USA back Blaine Scully gets his Cardiff Blues debut Saturday as he starts at right wing for the Pro 12 club in Wales.
You won’t see Cam Dolan on the squad as he tweaked his hamstring in his debut for the club, so it’s just one American lining up against Zebre.
After winning the London 7s and gaining a berth in the 2016 Olympics a few weeks later, USA Men’s 7s Coach Mike Friday said that those accomplishments were nice, but they were just steps to bigger prizes.
