NEW YORK, NY - That's right everybody it is time for the guys to reveal their incredibly accurate mock draft selections ahead of this year's MLR draft. While it's difficult to pinpoint exactly how Major League Rugby teams feel about certain prospects, this episode should be treated as your default draft prep guide because a lot of the names mentioned will most certainly be joining an MLR team. It just so happens that it might not be in the order we think it will be. Or even anything close to it. But at least we tried! And we spent hours and hours watching grainy YouTube highlight reels so you don't have to.

Check out this episode ahead of the draft on Thursday and then make sure you tune into our LIVE draft stream starting at 6:45pm EST. We'll be taking you all the way through the first round and then switching over to Twitter spaces to react to rounds two and three. Hope to see you there!

DALLAS, TX - In this installment of MLR Weeky, Major League Rugby Commissioner George Killebrew addresses salary cap issues, fan growth, ratings, the number of teams in 2023, MLR Draft complaints and teaming with Matt McCarthy in a Honolulu franchise. Also, NOLA Gold GM Ryan Fitzgerald weighs in re the draft from the NOLA war room, team focus on American players, developing Team USA Eagles and Mr. Met tattoos.
