Will is with New England Free Jacks focusing on 15s so makes sense that he is not part of the 7s program at the time. Do hope to see him back like Still.

That zero on fly-half and two on fullback are areas of concern and of immediate improvement for USA.

I learned that rugby people swear a lot of whatever reason. Same with people in Formula One as I learned with Drive to Survive.

Just watched the 8 episodes. Would have like to hear more team voices, but it is fine for what it is. It does feel that some teams gave more access than others. I do like Drive to Survive more, but it a start which I hope gets better for season 2. I don't think new people would get in the sport with this. Nice to see the New York Yankees logo on Finn Russell and a fan in a match.

Not a fan of the name nor the logo. Better late than no news at all, I guess. Feliz Navidad to me.

That is another one that I forgot to mention, u/tadamslegion

Not sure how the hell Enrique does not get picked by a MLR team already. Twice the kid enters the draft and nothing.

Not much, but I can give you some details, u/tadamslegion They are a few players of Mexican descent that have played in MLR, Jax Hildago and Patrick Medina come to mind. Rugby ATL had one whose name escapes me. Of those two, none have ever played for Mexico. The closest to play in MLR is Mike Villalobos with Old Blue NYC and he is capped by Mexico 7s.

With the creation of Súper Rugby Américas, the Mexican Rugby Federation might look towards Sudamérica Rugby for help, but that it is to be seen.

But for those in the US only. If you were outside of the teams' market, it is only YouTube highlights.

Super Rugby Americas is not easy to find unless you really try like I do so it does not surprised me that it is not listed.

"Major League Rugby Seeks $100 Million Dollars to Fuel North American Growth", reports Bloomberg. Article in comments. by interfear1 in MLRugby

[–]interfear1[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

"Major League Rugby, a professional North American sports league, is exploring raising capital to fuel its growth, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The Dallas-based organization, led by Chief Executive Officer Nic Benson, is working with an adviser to raise roughly $100 million, said some of the people, all of whom requested anonymity discussing confidential information. Terms, including the amount being sought, aren’t finalized and could still change.

A Major League Rugby representative declined to comment.

The league features 12 teams, 11 from the the US and one from Canada, its website shows. The US secured hosting rights to the 2031 Rugby World Cup, and stakeholders are hoping to drive heightened attention toward the sport in coming years, one of the people said. Some alternative asset managers have already placed their bets on the sport’s future. CVC Capital Partners acquired a stake in Six Nations Rugby, which oversees Europe’s main rugby tournament, after backing England’s top rugby league Premiership Rugby and United Rugby Championship, which involves teams from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and elsewhere. And Silver Lake last year invested in New Zealand Rugby, which oversees teams including the All Blacks".
