CARY, NC - The first half the World Rugby Nations Cup has come to a conclusion, and USA Rugby handled everything Portugal, Zimbabwe and Spain could throw at them. In the middle of all of it was Brandon Harvey, the young mountain of a man and Chicago Hounds star. One of our two featured guests this week to chat with MLR Weekly host Matt McCarthy, Harvey is now getting big minutes with Team USA and making them count. This week's other featured guest could arguably be the most important rugby executive on the American landscape. CEO Shane Young of the U.S. Rugby Foundation is charged with growing the game in places it doesn't exist and/or growing it where it may already exist. Just six months on the job after building Memphis Inner City Rugby and launching Urban Rugby Americas, Mr. Young peels back the curtain and chats openly about hurdles, hope and real change. 🎥 Featured Guest: Brandon Harvey 🎥 Featured Guest: Shane Young Don't miss The Rugby Odds: https://rugbywrapup.com/category/the-rugby-odds/ 📩 Subscribe for weekly rugby updates: [https://rugbywrapup.com/weekly-updates/ 🏉 Tag a rugby mate!

🇺🇸🏉 COLLEGE RUGBY’S BIG DIVIDE — CAN IT FINALLY BE BRIDGED? NEW YORK, NY — With the massive Springboks vs. All Blacks showdown looming in Baltimore, there’s plenty of rugby to talk about. But before we can seriously start comparing the U.S. Eagles to the world’s best, there’s some work to do at home. College rugby needs to get on the same page. In this episode, two of the biggest names in the American college rugby game — Alex Goff of CRAA (College Rugby Association of America) and Pat Clifton of NCR (National Collegiate Rugby) — sit down for a candid, civil conversation about some of the biggest issues facing college rugby in the United States. THE BIG QUESTIONS 🏉 Value Proposition If you're a college player, what exactly are you getting for your dues? What does USA Rugby/CRAA provide — and what does NCR provide? Where's the value for the student-athlete? 🏉 Seasonality When should college rugby play 15s? When should we play 7s? Is there a way to make the calendar work for everyone? 🏉 Representation And perhaps the biggest question of all: Who gets the bigger voice — and ultimately the bigger vote — on the College Rugby Council? And that's just the beginning. We kick off the show with John Fitzpatrick of Rugby Morning, discussing the U.S. Eagles vs. Japan matchup in Japan. Then we get into the issues that could shape the future of American college rugby. Can CRAA and NCR find common ground? Watch and decide for yourself. And...

MLR Weekly: California Captain, Jason Damm, Can ANYONE Beat Chicago, Opinion, Highlights, Prognosticator Prognostications

LOS ANGELES, CA - Actually, we're not 100% sure which of the five hometowns the California Legion's Captain Jason Damm was in for this MLR Weekly interview with Matt McCarthy, but it doesn't matter - he's great everywhere. And five different city's worth of kids/fans now know that, too. The likeable, tough, well-traveled Damm, (pronounced "dom') is also the most recent USA Rugby Captain. He talks about those responsibilities, how his shiner goes over at his toddler's daycare and more in a fun/fast segment.ALSO FEATURED: -💪 Power Pundit Prognosticators: •☕️ Rugby Morning's John Fitzpatrick & Sunday Night Rugby host Will Hooley join McCarthy 🧭 WHAT'S INSIDE 🎥 Rugby's Best Recap 🎥 : Power Pundit Prognostications •Last Week's Last Licks •Prognosticators' Prognostications 🎥 MLR picks from The Rugby Odds 🎥 Featured Guest: California's Jason Damm •Playing in five cities in CA •Which is his favorite •How to beat Chicago •Being captain for the Legion & USA •Having kids look up to him Don't miss THE RUGBY ODDS! https://youtu.be/_jH4noVvg68?si=V8KUoyWWUOUnwg5m 📩 Subscribe for weekly rugby updates: [https://rugbywrapup.com/weekly-updates/ 🏉 Tag a rugby mate!

This individual, through all the bumps and bruises has also earned 100 caps as a Captain. Simply remarkable. Who is the super human? It's none other than MLR Weekly's featured guest, Riekert Haddingh of the Seattle Seawolves. Astonishingly, he's achieved this remarkable milestone playing in the trenches as a backrow beast. BUT... what is the one thing that has escaped his grasp in the MLR? Host Matt McCarthy peels back the curtain to find out.
