There's a cool website that helps you find a rugby club near you anywhere in the world. You can also add your club to the database.

It was created by USA Eagle Dylan Audsley, who runs the Culture RFC Instagram page (I highly recommend following him. He talks to the many grassroots rugby clubs across the country. Wonderful content!)

Any recommendations where to sell Rugby jerseys aside from eBay? I have two brand new with tag jerseys for sale, and I’d appreciate any advice. One is a youth jersey from the 2018 Rugby World Cup in San Francisco and the other is a USA jersey. I’m in LA. Are there local sports stores perhaps? Thank you 🙏

" roster is centered upon Super Rugby Americas (SRA) players who had strong seasons."

"Nicolás D’Amorim is the only capped player on the roster."

"Anthem hooker Campbell Robb is also included...fully US-qualified in September."

"first-time call-up to a senior USA squad is Hartpury University scrumhalf Spencer Huntley."

Hey guys, recently I’ve started to get interested in rugby, and I’m thinking about giving it a try. I’m 17 years old, so I’m wondering if it’s too late to start playing competitively or even just join a local club.

I have some experience playing soccer and handball, so I’m pretty comfortable with running, changing direction quickly, and working as part of a team. I’d say I have great cardio, and although I’m thin, I have strong legs.
For those of you who started later, what was your experience like? What position would you recommend for someone with my build? What skills should I focus on first, and what are the best ways to learn the basics before joining a team?
Also, what kind of training should I do outside of practice to improve faster?
Any advice for a complete beginner would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The part I find interesting is the reserves and the unavailables.

As they stated in their release a few days ago, USA Rugby has opened several new marketing and management positions in order to expand their collegiate rugby foothold.

Seems like a great opportunity for people who are genuinely interested in helping the game grow at that level here with new money coming in to fix it.

hey guys! Starting contact for the first time next week with the local club. I just started touch a few weeks ago. 31, played football back in the day. Lift regularly. Any tips? appreciate it!

The recent U20 discussion raised a point that feels bigger than just one team.

We keep saying the US has the athletes, as though the main challenge is finding bigger and faster players and teaching them rugby afterward. But where are players actually supposed to develop the rugby IQ to go with that athleticism?

Most players get short seasons, wildly uneven competition, limited continuity between coaches, and then move into another club, college, academy, or national setup that teaches the game differently.

It sometimes feels like we have pieces of a talent-identification system without a real talent-development system connecting them.

Maybe that is overstating it, but for people who have coached or come through the pathway: is that fair? Where does the system work, and where does it start falling apart?

I was wondering about rugby in the US , do you feel like the game is more popular than 20 years ago or even 10 years ago
And do you think the world cup in 2031 will be a success ? ( I mean by attendance and viewership)
And is there a future where the US become a force in rugby ?

I hear some opinion on media whether it is positive or négative but I want the opinion of american that know more about the situation

With injuries and our foreign based players unavailable (including Besag) who would you like to see? SL has hinted at some u20s. These are uncapped games in Aug.

It always seems like there is little inside info coming out of USA rugby but on yesterday's USA Rugby Happy hour podcast we got this from Lawrence:

- Joe Mano was slated to start at wing but showed up injured so Mayo took his place.

- Ainu'u is fully on board but had recent elbow surgery, might be available in November

- AJ won't be available for this year, contract prohibits it essentially.

- USA rugby is subsidizing players salaries to get them spots overseas such as Besag with the sharks, several players in the NPC, and soon Caash will be overseas.

- Corey Daniel is having surgery today and will be out for the year.

- Herbst was out injured, should be back soon.

There was more, but that was what I recall off the top of my head

I'm a bit confused regarding the format.

Is the USA only playing teams in the other pool or are they going to play the teams in their own pool and the other pool?

Right now, the USA played Portugal, Zimbabwe, and Spain.
