There is much for us to learn from the US sports landscape, in terms of preparation of teams, development of the athlete, staging of events and more. But there is a great deal that rugby can contribute to the US too. The game still clings to its traditional values of respect, discipline, integrity, solidarity and passion. We believe that rugby is more than just a game, and the rugby community in the USA has continued to promote those special values and the unique spirit in which the game is played.
