GRR: MLR Draft
Major League Rugby has announced that it will hold its 2022 Collegiate Draft on Thursday, August 18.
The first round will be shown live on FS2 and the latter picks will be on The Rugby Network.
There are expected to be three rounds, with 39 players picked.
Who won the MLR Draft?
Well, as usual with any professional league draft, we will find out years down the road. We don't know which players will get injured and retire 24 months from now, and which players will slowly improve their craft and be a starter for 14 years.
Fullback Eric Naposki, a four-year starter at UCLA, was the No. 1 overall selection by the expansion Dallas Jackals in tonight’s second-ever Major League Rugby Collegiate Draft.
Major League Rugby's deadline to register for the 2021 collegiate draft is Friday, August 6.
Westport, Conn. — A talent showcase for players declared for the Major League Rugby draft will be held on August 7 at Staples HS in Westport, Conn.
The Rugby Showcase is not an official MLR event, but it does have the league's blessing. Instead, what amounts to a Pro Day for collegiate rugby players will be presented by High Performance Management Group.
