BROOKLYN, NY – A relaxed and smiling Mike Petri is rare enough on a rugby pitch (#9s worry about things), but Wales winning the Grand Slam, too?! History was made on both sides of the pond! And while we were technically off from our Fantasy Sports Nework show this week, we couldn’t help ourselves. The affront to Welsh fans for giving their squad short shrift aside (we’ll make it up next week), this segment is still worth all rugby fans watching. Seeing the relief/jubilation post-match for all involved with Rugby United NY’s historic win over the talented Toronto Arrows, is… “Gold, Jerry, gold!”
Here is but a glimpse with 3-time RWC man Petri, Man of the Match Nate Brakely, owner James Kennedy and GM James English… Oh, and we have some unsuspecting Six Nations fans in a Massachusetts pub, prior to more Major League Rugby history unfolding in Boston; the New England Freejacks hosting the #CaraCup (more next week).
In the meantime…
