In fact, there's been very little sleeping involved. In the 24 years of its existence, USA Rugby has grown by an astonishing rate. In the late 1970s, there were only a few dozen clubs. Now there are 700 Division One clubs. Over 31,000 players are registered with USA Rugby, with many more playing off the books.
American rugby is on the move.
Generally, I figure it s meant to refer to the fact that the U.S.A. is a big, honking country with millions of people, lots and lots of disposable income, and world-class athletes around every corner. If they decided to, the Americans could become a huge competitive, monetary, and cultural force in rugby. But before you make assumptions as to how American rugby will grow in the coming decades, you better be sure you know what you want. Power on the Field. Do you want to see NFL-caliber players in Eagle jerseys.
