This is an Opinion Column by GRR Editor Alex Goff — So it seems that USA Rugby is pretty serious about bidding for the Men’s 15s Rugby World Cup for either 2027 or 2031.
Oddities and surprises dotted the opening day of the new World Tens Series in Bermuda, but it was rugby, and it was rugby with a bunch of Americans doing pretty well.
With one team having to bow out of this first session, the World Tens Series event in Bermuda gets going with six teams, three of which are based out of the USA.
The schedule is set now for Sunday's opening action (remember the games have been delayed one day because of Hurricane Epsilon).
The World Tens Series can confirm that one SX10 player has returned a positive COVID-19 test result, following the latest round of testing.
All the remaining members of the Squad all tested negative at the same time, and since then, they have all re-tested again and have all recorded negative results.
