ARP’s Newest Side, Atlanta Premier Rugby - Daemon Torres & Francesco Balsas

In this US Rugby Happy Hour episode, Bill welcomes two members of the newest American Rugby Premiership side, Atlanta Premier Rugby, Daemon Torres, who many of you may remember from his Rugby ATL and Dallas Jackal playing days, and ARP’s Head Coach, Francesco Balsas to talk about starting the program and how it was built. Where do the players come from, what happens to the players when the season is over? Were all of the other South clubs on board with Atlanta Old White starting an ARP side with USA Rugby South backing? And, who should rugby fans keep an eye out for when watching Atlanta play this Fall? Canada’s Matt Heaton is certainly one, and also a player they can all learn from.
