DON’T MISS… MLR Weekly
CHICAGO, IL – We were in the middle of a great rugby weekend in Chi-Town, but the MLR Weekly staff had its tentacles everywhere. From the Utah Warriors dropping out, a BIG ESPN/MLR announcement, the USA Eagles losing ugly, to a Windy City jammed with ruggers, it’s all in this episode.
Featured guest Tom Kindley, GM of the 3-peat Champion New England Free Jacks, shares his thoughts on much of the above, plus the pressures of the new roster rules, tampering charges, his unprecedented/humane advertising of players and expectations of a 4-peat (or whatever that is).
ALSO INCLUDED:
John Fitzpatrick of Rugby Morning and Bryan Ray of Americas Rugby News.
The College Rugby Corner, with Pat Clifton of the College Rugby Show.
-Cameos by legends in Chicago, All Blacks star Beauden Barrett and NZ Head Coach Scott “Razor” Robertson.
