MLR Weekly: Utah Head Coach Greg Cooper, Exclusive Highlights, Analysis, News, Predictions

QUINCY, MA - We watched the latest round of Major League Rugby through green-colored glasses, as teams paid homage to St. Patrick. Indeed, the luck of the Irish was needed by two home teams, particularly New England. Indeed, star-in-the-making - Free Jacks' flanker Jed Melvin - was the beneficiary of luck and hard work, soaring over the whitewash at death for a "walk-off" try. The affable J-Melv talks about that exhilarating moment, his 60 meter back-breaker vs LA, the crowded FJ's back row, the new coaching system and more on this MLR Weekly, hosted by Matt McCarthy.

-Closing academic deficits and expanding opportunity 
-Trauma informed coaching model for healing and social-emotional growth
