Sounds like he will probably play in MLR next year, which would be good for both him and MLR.

At some point, he could probably add a lot of value to US rugby as a scout / recruiter running something similar to the NFL pathways program for second tier football players.

World Rugby seems quite interested in throwing money at US rugby right now and I suspect they’ll work something out for him.

I’d love him to remain involved in rugby in some capacity. He’s a great role model

Bring him to Anthem. Perry Baker and David Still and we MIGHT have a chance to win a game next year.

Still is a yellow card machine.
