MLR is launching a virtual competition featuring your favorite MLR players competing on behalf of their actual MLR teams on Rugby20 live streamed to fans on @Twitch.

The entire 2020 MLR season has now been cancelled. It's sad but understandable.

Back to the future.
If MLR survives will they expand next year?
Think they will hold fire for another year as it gives new teams time to rearrange finances.. One aside I have noticed that XFL Renegades wear same colours as the old Austin Herd.
Maybe they will take on the colours and name from Austin.

I heard the Commissioner on a recent podcast and he said the MLR is in pretty good shape. The only team that had real trouble$ was Austin, but they were bailed out by new owners. They'll be two new teams next year (LA and Dallas) bringing the total up to 14.

During the regular season they broadcast live on CBSsportsnet and ESPN+, followed up by YouTube a few days after the live matches. Currently you can view this season matches that were played on YouTube along with virtual matches. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIynwDVqRK7KTUy72_kSBhA

In my opinion, it's a bonehead move by the Raptors ownership. Their fans deserve better.

The NRFL is looking to get off the ground again. Proposals include playing in NFL stadiums and an average salary of $250k on a slary cap of $9m. I'll believe it when I see it.

They've had a Twitter account since June of 2013 and still haven't gotten their league onto the pitch. https://twitter.com/TheNRFL

There's a new rugby park in the works for St. Louis, Missouri - with the city's oldest club the St. Louis Bombers hoping to join Major League Rugby in 2 or 3 years.

As a Legion fan I will miss Hoadley as our coach. But I wish him and his family well.

Austin Gilgronis was the dumbest name ever for a rugby team...until this one came along.
