GRR: College Men
University of Notre Dame and the US Naval Academy will play a rugby game in Ireland as something of a pre-amble to the much-hyped football game between the two institutions this weekend.
With the Mishipmen and Fighting Irish set to fave off at Aveva Stadium on Saturday, in a somewhat smaller venue the rugby teams will meet on Friday at Trinity College, Dublin University.
In the spring of 2002 Army West Point Rugby toured the UK, playing, among other teams, Rosslyn Park.
Someone is starting to listen.
More teams were looking for tight five players but also taking a sht at a young, American flyhalf in the MLR draft.
Here is the list of first round picks:
Rick Rose of St. Bonaventure is the #1 pick in the 2023 Major League Rugby draft, getting the nod from expansion club Miami.
Rose was the captain of St. Bonaventure, leading them to a NCR D1 title in the fall of 2021. The 6-7 lock is a powerful forward on defense, wins lineouts, is an excellent leader, and someone who puts in a ton of work around the park.
The Major League Rugby Draft is set for Thursday night with the first pick being announced some time after 6:30PM ET.
