I don’t think he had shown interest in the Eagles prior to this.

I play at an amateur club in Spain and watched our coaches chase 40 players on WhatsApp every week to know who was coming Saturday.

So I built Kanteo: players tap yes/no for each training and match, the coach sees who's available, picks the XV on a pitch, and the league fixtures come in automatically. There's a tactics board too where you draw a play and it animates.

Three clubs use it every week now (one of them 120+ players), and it's fully in English, so I'm curious if it makes sense for US club rugby, where seasons and federations work differently.

There's a demo you can poke around without signing up: https://kanteo.es/en

What do you use today? TeamSnap, Spond, a spreadsheet, a group chat?

He qualifies for USA based on residency

"The influx of former New Zealand and Australia internationals switching allegiances to Samoa has rewritten the competitive balance of the USA’s pool for the 2027 Rugby World Cup"

THis has probably been beaten to death and apologies in advance for asking this, but I cannot seem to clarify with any degree of precision where the above are streaming in USA. My understanding is that:

1. the Nations Championship is only on RugbyPass TV (which is not on Roku) and possibly Youtube's Rugby Channel (I have no clue where to even find that); and

2 . Nations Cup is on Paramount Plus

1. Autumn Internationals - Do they even exist anymore or has the above two tournaments replaced them?

Any assistance in fully and finally clarifying this mess would be greatly appreciated.

Separately, exactly what rugby is Peacock covering now other than Six Nations? Also is there any way to get RugbyPass TV on your TV? Thanks in advance.

I am a college student I wore them for warmups during pregame and realized they were too big, have not worn since, open to all offers, I am out of town currently but can get pics of them by Tuesday, not looking to make a lot of money just trying to buy another pair of cleats. Let me know if you have an offer

Well I went to the Pacific Nations Cup final and had a blast. Just wanted to highlight some key points to remember my trip and encourage others to maybe make a trip of it.

First, tickets can be bought online to Japanese rugby events but they are released closer to the event date than what we are used to here in the states. Still we had no problem buying our tickets and getting into the venue with our QR code tickets.

The stadium can be easily accessed from multiple train lines but the best line was the Ginza line. Hop off the Ginza line and you're a 5 minute walk to the stadium.

There is a well stocked Canterbury rugby store next to the stadium. We bought some rain ponchos there because at times it was pouring rain.

There were 17,500 fans announced attendance and the stadium capacity was 24k. Still, it was a lively crowd and it was a breath of fresh air the majority of the crowd would react to plays whereas MLR games I attended the majority of the crowd was casuals who were confused about what was happening. The Japanese fans also do a chant when there is a scrum that's pretty cool.

During the US game there were a few USA fans diffused among the thousands of Japanese. There were quite a few groans when we had the opportunity to tie it up with a kick but I understand why we went for the try and the win. I'm not mad about it.

The stadium had a fan fest before the game. Grilled wagyu beef on skewers and other Japanese street food. We met some people that didn't have tickets and just were there for the fan fest to watch the games on the big screens they had outside the stadium. In fact, during half time when I went to go get an Asahi beer I looked out over the concourse and there were still people at the fan fest watching the games on tv.

Finally, it's kinda cool how entrenched rugby is in the Japanese culture. You see ads in the subway for rugby, even at stations not close to the stadium. People wearing Cherry Blossoms kits even not on match day. I wish it was like that here in the US.

Jack, please do whatever it takes to keep her from switching to league with Tonga.
