GRR: National Teams
In this latest RuggaMatrix America podcast, Alex Goff sits down with USA Rugby CEO Ross Young and COO Johnathan Atkeison.
The top? High Performance. What to do about a High Performance Manager or General Manager, the status of the USA Women's and Men's 15s Head Coach positions.
Playing their first home game in over a year, the USA Men's 15s National Team beat Stade Toulousain 24-21 in a very entertaining, end-to-end game in Sandy Utah.
Played in front of a loud and enthusiastic crowd, the game was back-and-forth throughout—imperfect in its precision but played with a sense of endeavor that was certainly crowd-pleasing.
USA Men's 15s interim Head Coach Scott Lawrence had named his squad to face French professional team Stade Toulousain in Sandy, Utah Saturday.
The game will feature more reserves than usual and Lawrence has named a gameday squad of 26.
USA Rugby announced today that Milton Haig will assume the interim head coach role for the USA Women’s Eagles during their 2023 Fall test match window.
One of the comments Scott Lawrence kept bringing up in our recent interview with him was “game time.”
It isn’t enough, said the USA Men’s 15s Head Coach, to be on a professional team. You have to actually play. And, really, you have to play 60 to 80 minutes rather than run on for those last 15-20 minutes.
