Pro League in the States? I am skeptical.

Quote:
“As the fastest growing team sport in the USA, it is the time to have a sanctioned professional competition,” USA Rugby Chairman Bob Latham said. “We are very happy to partner with PRO Rugby in taking this step to popularize the game, to inspire Americans to fall in love with rugby, and to show the rugby world what American players can do.

The league will start off small, featuring just six teams hosted in major metropolitan areas in the Northeast, the Rocky Mountains and California, according to USA Rugby and PRO Rugby. In 2017, the league plans to add more teams, including some in Canada. Venues and other details won’t be released until next week.
