Episode Notes

When the Springboks of South Africa faced the All Blacks of New Zealand in Baltimore, USA, they did so in front of the largest ever crowd assembled for a rugby match in North America. In doing so, did they finally proved that there is a model for rugby in the US to finally work?

In this podcast, I was joined by USA based rugby writer Martin Pengelly to break down all aspects of America rugby life: from the men's and women's eagles to the MLR and college rugby.
