All-Time American List: Jay Hanson

Jay Hanson’s story is a classic one of the early days of the modern era of American rugby.

He found rugby where he could, and continued to perform at a high level whenever he did so. He played in high school in Maryland when that wasn’t really a thing. He attended TCU and found a club in Fort Worth to play for.

Paul Emerick is one of the greatest American outside backs.

Generally playing at outside center, the former University of Northern Iowa All American and later Chicago Lions was a favorite with fans because he never, ever backed down, was brutally honest about his performance good or bad, and was just plain fun to watch.
