Steve Tomasin, Star of HSBC 7S World Series Leaders - USA Rugby

NEW YORK, NY - As far as we can tell, pigs are not flying. Nor can we confirm that snowballs are being thrown in Hell. Yet, there is one perfectly impossible phenomenon that we have witnessed... USA Rugby's Eagles soaring to the top of the men's HSBC World Sevens World Series table. They've gotten to this here-to-date unfathomable perch via brawn, brains, flash and flair. It's been their remarkably consistent willingness to the do the dirty work and lunch-pail work ethic, however, that has facilitated this stunning reality. And Steve Tomasin epitomizes that work ethic as well as any of Mike Friday & Co.'s circuit-leading Eagles. With that, Tomasin took time out of a very full schedule to speak with our Matt McCarthy re:

-His Olympic Dream

-Lure of Major League Rugby $$$

-Fast-Twitch skills honed in Baseball & Football

-His vote for Best Play Made By An Eagle

-Personalities in the Locker Room

-His ability to Sing and Dance - and a sample.

-The Dallas Cowboys & NY Yankees

-Answering in "3rd Person"

NEW YORK, NY - There's a lot of chatter coming out of Australia around the launch of rugby maverick Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest's Global Rapid Rugby. And as often is the case, chatter begets chatter. In this case, it's in the form of the "spirited" exchange of alternate views from the very opinionated George Hook and our host Matt McCarthy. In this Week 75 installment of our Fantasy Sports Network Studio show the two tackle (aside from each other) the aforementioned Rapid Ruby and the Curse of 7s... as it takes on 15s. Topics touched upon:

-Getting Twiggy With It: Is Andrew Forrest merely a flash-in-the-pan version of PT. Barnum?

-Is Rugby Really a Global Game - or is it just an illusion flaunted by the top nations?

-Are 7s coaches any good?

-Is USA Rugby's rise to the top in 7s and 12th in 15s solely because of Speed & Strength?

-Does 7s require an Skill?

-The Benedict Arnold of Rugby

-Winston Churhill's George Hook to McCarthy's FDR.

AND DON'T MISS... this week's other installment:

The New England Free Jacks and Rugby United NY brought one of the world's most heated rivalries to rugby in the form of Major League Rugby; Boston versus NY. And despite the pundits picking RUNY in a big way - like our host Matt McCarthy - this was One For the Ages. Next Level Rugby's Ryan Ginty, who produced the live feed, joins McCarthy (who was part of the broadcast team) now that the smoke has cleared, in a recap and analysis of what transpired, replete with game highlights, clips from the journey, player performances and behind-the-scenes footage. And for those 7s fans out there, we have that covered too, as we were all riveted to the Dubai 7s and touch upon the Cape Town 7s as well.

New England Free Jacks vs Rugby United NY

BOSTON, MA - It stared with an early AM bus ride from NYC's upper east side and concluded with an early evening ride back on that very same bus. In between, there was another bit of Major League Rugby history being made. The New England Free Jacks and Rugby United NY brought one of the world's most heated rivalries to rugby; Boston versus NY. And despite the pundits picking RUNY in a big way - like our host Matt McCarthy - this was One For the Ages.
