over 60,000 registered players at 570 clubs in the US at last count. We don't lack the courage to play...usually lack the skills to compete internationally because >90% of us don't pick up a ball until we are 18. It is growing and alot of clubs now sponsor youth clubs.
i had no idea rugby existaed in the U.S. till i was out there in 2005 with the royal navy. Our ship's team (HMS Vanguard) played the Brevard county red eyes in florida and they thrashed us about 60 nil! That was Union though, not sure if they play league out there?

How can you play rugby on a pitch that's marked out in 10 yard sections? Where's the 22 metre lines? xD
Awesome to see rugby's growing internationally.

It's Rugby League, mate - there is no 22m line...

Um, nope. Rugby Super League in the U.S. is the top-level rugby union competition in that country. Bad choice of name by USA Rugby.

Yeah, you're right - my bad. I should have actually watched the video...
Anyway, it looks as though they are playing on a converted American Football pitch (which is basically a Rugby League pitch).
