Major League Rugby MLR

@Bovidae He's been joined by Matt Giteau who has come out of retirement to sign for San Diego.
He said in February that he had milked the game and his contracts dry, when saying he was retiring. Apparently not, there is still a place to milk a bit more.
It's almost a shame, hard to take the comp too seriously with these fellas still playing. He and Nonu must be having a laugh when they meet, 41 and still getting paid to waddle around the field? -

Nonu is still one of the best players in the States, if not the best
Americans commentating on Rugby sounds so fucked up

@Machpants , yep mate not saying otherwise, just saying this is the state of the comp when a 41yo is one of best in comp. Not a criticism of Nonu in anyway,or Giteau for taking on a contract, just sums up where the MLR is in my opinion. It's good that there is another level of pro rugby.

Not sure about Giteau but I’d say Nonu would still be pretty damn sharp for 41. Probably still better than a few Super Rugby players truth be told.

Watching MLR, the quality of rugby is dreadful for a (semi)professional league. After a few beers you can't help but think "I could play that badly for money"

Not MLR, but cool
The smoking hot Constance Nunes and her custom car company sponsor the local rugby side.
Sponsors functions I would actually attend

So this season has already started, without my being aware of it, until by pure luck... the most local of my local breweries happened to have the Seawolves game on the big screen.
Promising precedent.
And decent game, in atrocious conditions, played on a soccer field ... but a win for the good guys with a last minute try.
Potroz playing for the opponents, doing a decent job at this level.
