Pro Rugby North America has released its schedule for its inaugural season.
Each team will play the other four teams twice, with four of the five teams playing each weekend. A fifth team will have a bye each week.
The five teams' venues are:
San Francisco - Boxer Stadium
San Diego - Torero Stadium
Sacramento - Bonney Field
What arguably makes the best athletes isn’t just the physical pain the players can endure or how fast or strong they are. It’s a combination of the physicality and mental toughness, which is what Sport and Exercise Psychologist Katie Wurst is making people more aware of.
Not only with the USA 7s team be without Carlin Isles this weekend, but injuries have struck additional players.
With 367 overall nominations and 1,312 overall votes, Ashlee Byrge and Bronson Teles very much deserve the title of Goff Rugby Report’s Most Valuable Player of the Month. Both players were high school All Americans, and both players were selected for the Junior All American teams.
USA 7s team wing Carlin Isles will not be with the team in Vancouver, because he is hoping to qualify for the USA Track and Field team as a sprinter and become a double Olympian.
