North American Rugby

**kilted2000** · 10th February 22, 11:01 PM

I just wanted to remind any rugby fans in North America or anywhere else in the world that the fifth season of Major League Rugby, North America's own rugby union competition, has begun. If you are not aware most matches can be watched live from anywhere in the world on the Rugby Network, a free streaming service. All matches can also be watched on TRN on-demand later the same week. I am not affiliated with either MLR or TRN, I'm just an enthusiastic rugby fan trying to grow the sport in the USA and Canada. Remember, rugby jerseys go really well with a kilt.

Also, I hear that somewhere in Europe six or so nations are having some small competition or other

Like cricket, I’m still trying to figure out how the games played

Thanks for the links.

This video is also very useful. I watched it when I was getting into the sport.

I've become a Rugby 7s fan, myself. Great, fast moving action and the matches are short, sweet and intense.

I played at University. I was the only woman on the team. Other side didn't know where to grab. LOL. By the time I graduated, half the team was made of women. Great game.

To be honest, I've never watched Rugby, but I think I would enjoy going to a game. I see that the University of Maryland has a rugby team and they will be starting their season in the fall. That might be a good place to start. Thanks for the link! Not my alma mater, but I have taken courses there and live very near.

It makes North American football look like a sport for sissies.

If you have an NBC Peacock subscription, you can watch the Six Nations tournament that is happening now. It's an annual competition between England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, and France.
