Hello, Rugby readers, With 2011 being a World Cup year , it's time to start publishing again. The original post of this blog, with my assertion that Americans can take to Rugby like we did with soccer back in the 1970's. November, Planet Rugby published this article in which IRB Chief Mike Miller says that the question is "when and not if" the United States will one day host a Rugby World Cup. The article goes on to talk about Rugby Sevens being added to the Olympic games in Rio de Janiero in 2016 as a crucial stepping stone to re-establishing the game in the US. Additionally, should the US qualify in men's sevens, they would go to the Olympics as the defending champion (even though it was 1924 and the XV version). More to come.
