Chris Wyles, newly-retired from the USA men’s national 15s team, continues to be a central figure on Saracens, helping them to a 28-17 defeat of Toulouse and a 6-0 European Cup record.
BOULDER, Colo. – USA Rugby announced Friday it is accepting nominations for two positions on its Board of Directors, to be seated in September.
This is an Op-Ed contribution from Joseph Sweeney. Sweeney is a longtime colleague of Mike Tolkin's, and was a teammate and co-coach of Tolkin's dating back to high school. He is currently the Xavier HS Program Director as well as Xavier's Dean of Faculty.
Chris Wyles has been a supremely important player for the USA national teams.
He was a steadying force through some pretty serious upheavals, and as he retires from international 15s duty, it's worth looking back and tipping your hat.
In the first RuggaMatrix America show of 2016, Alex Goff, Bruce McLane, and Pat Clifton look at the appointment of John Mitchell to lead the USA Men's 15s team.
Bruce has reservations about the appointment, but all have questions about finances, and whether the promise of Pro Rugby can help spark imporved results.
