After the excitement of the Americas Rugby Championship this week’s selection seems downright boring. Los Jaguares were on a bye, as was the whole of the Guinness Pro 12, and most of the top Americas exports were either not playing well or not at all. In some cases we’ve simply …

The Americas Rugby Championship wrapped up this past weekend which means it’s time for our last weekly selection of this year’s tournament. Of course there is still our ARC Dream Team to come early next week. Might some of the players below find themselves in our best of the tournament …

What a difference a week makes! Last time we were lamenting the lack of South American options, and here we are with only two North Americans in our weekly selection. What a terrific competition this Americas Rugby Championship is proving to be. 1 – Lucas Abud (Brazil) Os Tupis started …
