Our first weekly selection with the Jaguares available! They’ve returned to action at an opportune time as well, with Pro D2, Guinness Pro 12, and Greene King IPA Championship all on a bye week, and Top 14 not quite at a full complement. As such there’s more than a fair …

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 …

The last big weekend of European rugby pool play and the British & Irish Cup is now past us. It wasn’t the prettiest, as happens when you play rugby in January, but there are some bright spots as far as Americas players are concerned, so here’s our picks for this …
