US Major League Rugby 20/21
Just noticed that neil_m is post match schedules for these games.
Any insights or points of interest.
For example, Rory Best is coaching with one of the teams, are their any other Irish connections.

Re: US Major League Rugby 20/21
A new MLR attendance record was set last night, with over 11k in attendance for the San Diego legion v Utah match. A very significant milestone hit, in a new professional league.
Re: US Major League Rugby 20/21
Toronto Arrows have folded. It's pretty much the death of Canada as a rugby playing nation, I can't see where they go from here.
Re: US Major League Rugby 20/21
The NY franchise is on the verge of folding now too.
Re: US Major League Rugby 20/21
Are there any MLR teams not hemorrhaging money?
Re: US Major League Rugby 20/21
I feel like a decent chunk of TopXV are modestly profitable. Exeter, Northampton and Leicester had decent chunks of time being profitable.
In contrast calling what optimism MLR was formed under a wing and a prayer would be an existential insult to avians and theists alike.

Mexico are going to enter a club into the MLR. Good luck to them hope it works out
Re: US Major League Rugby 20/21
It's a good sign that new owners are still looking to invest in the league. I really want this league to work.sunshiner1 wrote: ↑December 17th, 2023, 1:07 am Mexico are going to enter a club into the MLR. Good luck to them hope it works out

Caolan Dooley has signed for Chicago.
Re: US Major League Rugby 20/21
Another late addition to the 2024 season seems to be in the works. The rumours are that a US development side based out of Charlotte is joining the league for this season. It seems that WR are part funding the project, which would make sense as they would be desperate to get the US side up to scratch leading up to their world cup.sunshiner1 wrote: ↑December 17th, 2023, 2:07 pmAnother team is entering this year the Miami Sharks so it looks like it's going well.
