GRR: National Teams
Goff Rugby Report Editor Alex Goff sat down with USA Men’s 15s Head Coach Mike Tolkin Wednesday to go over not nay the Rugby World Cup but the last four years of his coaching tenure.
During that time under Tolkin, the USA has won 11 games, lost 22, and tied 1, for a winning percentage of .338.
CHULA VISTA, Calif. (USA Rugby Release) – Long-serving Eagle Kevin Swiryn is one of nine non-Resident athletes invited to the next Men's Eagles Sevens High Performance Camp at the Olympic Training Center.
Having spoken about the USA team in detail, with a lot of it not very positive, there comes a time to think about this in positive ways.
Perhaps, then, we can look back at the Rugby World Cup with these memories, one video and one in description.
The American Rugby Pro Training Center (ARPTC) drew a lot of praise during its first year of existence. It placed players into a full-time rugby environment, and output skilled athletes and high-functioning teams. After winning the women’s club 7s national championship, six residents were invited to the mid-September USA Women 7s camp at the Olympic Training Center (OTC).
The members of the USA Men’s National Team have split up and gone back home.
Some are off to professional contracts, others back to squeezing work and rugby into an ever-shrinking day. Some return to the USA to look around and think “now what?”
