The Rugby Odds: Farrells Tarnish Lions? MLR Strife, WRWC, URC, Prem & Top14 Predictions, NPC Picks

NEW YORK, NY - The winds of change are still bustling through Major League Rugby front offices, and though more change may be upon us, we carry on with business as usual. With that, this MLR Weekly features Houston SaberCats' wunderkind sensation, Seth Smith, who'll be entering his 3rd season at the ripe old age of 20. Smith talks about his intriguing and Hollywood-esque story with host Matt McCarthy.

Also featured is the impressive Alycia Washington, a 26-time USA Eagle, who is now Director of Rugby at the NCR (National Collegiate Rugby). Washington shares her views re the College Rugby landscape, needs, and potential for sponsors and partners.

Ending with flair, Elite Rugby exec/coach Steve Lewis fully recaps the National Club 7s, before continuing on his mission to improve rugby in places like Nigeria, Guyana, Costa Rica and... the Rugby Town 7s.
