USA Rugby Congress Update

NEW YORK, NY - Things are getting interesting - not that they haven't been already - with all things on the USA Rugby governance front. And Steve @LizardRugby Lewis is right in the middle of it as a USAR Congressman and Committee member. With global rugby pro-turned MLR coach Kees Lensing and host Matt McCarthy lending ears, Lewis lowers the boom. His frustrations and hopes collide, and it's worth checking out - even if you're not up to speed on all the behind-the-scenes machinations of the entities charged with making all Eagles teams competitive and steering America's amateur growth.

Army Coach Matt Sherman, Iona Coach Bruce McLane

WEST POINT - College rugby is alive and well and the Army vs Iona match was certainly worth the price of admission - had there been one. Think about that. We're still at the point where we can watch top college rugby programs in person - for free. Not sure about you, but we'll take advantage of that any day. And getting Army Head Coach Matt Sherman and Iona Head Coach Bruce McLane on camera, side-by-side, represents the charm and refreshing accessibility that still exists on the American rugby landscape. Hopefully that won't completely fade away as this great game continues to grow. But hey, let's enjoy it while it lasts, right? With that, our Matt McCarthy and always-savvy Steve Lewis lift the hood on this blossoming rivalry of two completely different rugby cultures. Aside from the aforementioned Sherman and McLane interview, valuable intel was also given by their respective Assistant Coaches, Dave Katz and Dave Flemister.

Full disclosure: The Two Daves, McLane and McCarthy go way back as teammates, as do Jim Daley, Paul Burke and Billy O'Connell.

-The mess he's inherited

-Richie Walker and Chris Brown

-USA Rugby's debt to World Rugby

-World Rugby's Augustin Pichot being on the USAR Board

-Changing By-Laws

-RWC 7s in San Francisco

Can-Am Rugby Special http://rugbywrapup.com

SARANAC LAKE, NY - Truth be told, we've been holding out on putting this one out because we just didn't want our summer to end. And the Can Am Tournament, in this spectacular setting just a stone's throw from Lake Placid, is synonymous with summer. Hopefully, this piece captures all of it and includes cameos from Fans, Teams, Refs, Players, Future Stars and... Shalom Suniula, the captain of the Seattle Seawolves and U-18s All-Americans Assistant Coach. Our Matt McCarthy was there for all it.
