GRR: Men Senior Rugby
Thirty-nine college players from universities in the USA and Canada were officially drafted into Major League Rugby Thursday night.
Over 150 rugby players have applied for the Major League Rugby draft, with 39 to be drafted and several more signed as undrafted free agents.
They will become, for a while at least, professional rugby players.
Over 170 student-athletes are going through the Major League Draft process this week—most will find out what happens on Thursday, but in fact the picks have already been made.
Scion made it two years in a row, and NAV 7s made it to the top for the first time as the USA Rugby Club 7s Championships wrapped up in St. Louis over the weekend.
Scion won the women's event for the second straight year, riding a very polished approach backed up by physical strength in the tackle and smart support work.
St. Louis, Mo. will be the host city for the USA Rugby Club 7s National Championships this weekend.
