Rugby X London. Behind the Scenes with USA Rugby and Mike Friday | RUGBY WRAP UP

I was lucky enough to be asked to film behind the scenes with USA Rugby 7s coach Mike Friday and the USA Rugby 7s team, including World 7s Player of the Year Perry Baker and “the fastest man in rugby” Carlin Isles at the historic first ever RugbyX. RugbyX is 5 v 5 indoor rugby, with amended laws from traditional rugby union. The first event was held at London’s O2 Arena. Watch now to see access all areas behind the scene look at the event!


MLR Weekly in France at Rugby World Cup 2023

FRANCE - MLR Weekly finally made it to the Rugby World Cup - on a Major League Rugby scouting mission, of course. The food, wine, making new friends and sightseeing were just part of job... MLR Weekly video editor Jonny Lewis and his Swedish International "frere" Simon hit Lyon. Host Matt McCarthy went to Paris, coincidentally on the same flight as Rugby NY GM Steve Lewis. As a result, we have exclusive coverage you won't want to miss.
