US setting up a pro league this summer
First topic message reminder :
Reports are in that the US beings trialling 600 athletes who have just missed out on the NFL and Canadian Football, or have been dropped after a year. Henry Paul is involved. I think that 30 players will go on to be included in a team connected with existing US pro players and will play a home and away game against an English premiership side. The idea is to utilise the NFL stadiums in the off season.
Could fail. Could go well. If it does go anywhere near well, I'm guessing the IRB, and certain clubs will pay the price for a lack of strategic structure in the game. Your thoughts.

Hammer, I think there is so little or no League played in the US, so most people here have no clue there are two different sports with Rugby in the name. Rugby Union is Rugby.
