Due to demand from your our readers it's time once again for another Q&A session. With the Eagles upcoming matches, Alex Magleby's plans not to return as U.S.A. 7's head coach, the Lions tour, a just completed domestic club season, and much more, there is plenty to talk about so make sure to ask away. You can ask about pretty much anything (even if there is something you've always wanted to know about TIAR). We'll be taking questions now through Thursday night so make sure to enter you questions in the comments below.
Can you go into a little more detail on all of the players we have in Ireland? It seems like a lot of the players currently in the Eagles Camp have a Ireland connection. Especially the practice squad. Will these players be included in Eagles Abroad? Very Exciting to have so many players playing in Ireland.
ReplyDeleteOn another note do any non professional USA players look like they might be getting a nod from professional teams overseas anytime soon?
1)realistically when do you guys see a league starting up in america? is it smarter to include Canada or is it still the same if usa rugby takes it on its self? and to add a third part what format would you take? (city teams or regional teams, start small or go big)
ReplyDelete2)could a potential north american "all star team" like the lions or baabaas be another ave. to help get those top u20 and on the bench of national team- players more playing time (again mixed in with canada)?
3)do you think usa rugby has a chance to capitolize on new streaming outputs, to help get rugby out there to American masses and somehow bring in more revenue? (ROKU,USTREAM,YOUTUBE,APPLE TV, GOOGLE TV)
last question sorry*
4) is NBC the best for usa rugby right now? majority of content is always shown on universal sports witch is a subscription channel and if shown on regular nbc or nbc sports its tape delayed. can and should USAR try and land ether a 2nd tv contract or switch broadcast? usa soccer i believe has two different broadcasting contracts. espn and bein both own rights
1) IS Mags reasoning to leave a combination of security of his family unit and his view what it takes to be an Olympic rugby coach?
ReplyDelete2) Other than the negative blurbs (USMA & Chicken tackling streaker), what is the best method for getting national level coverage for our National 7s Teams? ESPN Olympic Sports page? FoxSports Olympics page?
3) American Barbarians. What chance do any number of rugby newbies have against the London Irish? WHO refs? (I'd rather watch Life or NYAC take on the London Irish).
4) How do you think our teams will place in Moscow?
Why is Argentina so good? I've been paying attention to them a bit lately and it seems to me... When you compare USA to Argentina, USA really have no excuse for performing as poorly as we've been known to do.
ReplyDeleteRelative to the USA, Argentina is at a sever disadvantage... So what are they doing right that we could be doing also or, what are they doing better that we could be doing better?
For clarity, when I talk about comparing the two I'm referring to things like player pool size, country's population, resources, economy, sports market, etc.
