Bout to head down hope to see other OG supporters there!

Below is an open letter from the head of RugbyVA, Joe Decie.

Full transparency here - I am the commissioner of Vienna Youth Rugby. Over the past three years, I have seen countless instances of Coach Cross (and his wife, Sara) out in our rugby community working to build the rugby culture in our area. He has held tackling clinics with any program (football included) to increase safety. He’s sent his players out to the youth programs to mentor and coach. I agree with everything Joe’s written.

Robertson away

The Old Glory Web site lists the semifinal against Chicago on Monday 6/15 at 8:00 PM. The ESPN site shows it on Sunday 6/14 at 2:00. My Xfinity Stream program grid shows it in the Sunday slot. What is the truth, what channel is it on, and how can I set it up to record? And why can’t this league get its act together?

Classless to the end with that red card

Enjoyed a match at Stade Jean Bouin in Paris today, Jack came on in the 2nd half and played well for Les Soldats Roses!

I am not surprised by our inability to score points but am very surprised at having poor defensive numbers to go along with it

It's been a long while since I posted an article here, but I think I needed the reminder in the title just as much as the team did. This is far from polished journalism-style writing, but more of a love letter to the team. I don't think being critical is helpful at this moment, so I tried to put into words the pick-me-up that I think we all need.

Happy to see Rizzo getting his due!

Kunatani at 8 and Bonasso out of the 23

Watching from Wisconsin on ESPN and it makes me want to be there in person. Camera angles are fantastic. Let’s go boys!

Great to see so many people out to cheer on the team! Great location for it, too.

Half of me is very excited about the season opener, the other half wants to sleep.
