ESPN is going to be airing the USA/Canada RWC Qualifying match LIVE this Saturday at 4:00 pm. This is the first time that ESPN has aired live rugby on it's flagship station rather than giving us horribly edited rebroadcasts on The Ocho — so set your DVRs, tell you friends and family, and let's see if we can't show the network(s) that there is a demand for more rugby coverage. I mean, if we don't watch this who will!?
You can also pass along this article that ran in USA Today about The Eagles and the unique challenges facing our amateur players versus the monied programs from the top-tier nations. There is a good chance that rugby can piggyback on the recent exposure of the US Soccer program and help drum up interest in some of the "fringe" team sports being played at the highest levels in this country.

NYAC Wins Super League Final in Thrilling Double Oh-Tee Fashion...Barn Thoroughly Burned
NYAC won the RSL final Saturday in a marathon match that can only be described as the Thrilla in...uh...well it was in Glendale, Colorado. The 31-28 win featured two last second tries from Belmont Shore at the end of the first and second halves, the latter pushing the match into the first overtime 25-25. Each team hit a penalty kick to send the game into a sudden-death second overtime. The match was sealed by a penalty kick from NYAC's Luke Milton at the very end of the second extension.
In other news the Mooses of Michiana played the Reno Zephyrs in the Men's Div III championship. Will post the result as soon as I can find it.
