CHICAGO, IL - We were in the middle of a great rugby weekend in Chicago, but the MLR Weekly Staff had its tentacles everywhere, keeping tabs on the Utah Warriors dropping out, a BIG ESPN/MLR announcement, the USA Eagles losing ugly, and a Windy City jammed with ruggers...

CARDIFF, WALES - What does Cardiff Rugby have to do with a MLR Weekly show? Plenty. Why? Because a band of savvy, passionate mix of Hollywood producers, businessmen and rugby professionals may have just what the sport needs: outside the box thinking with some Hollywood flare. In this case, the aforementioned want to purchase Cardiff Rugby, a storied club since 1876, rescue them from bankruptcy, see them flourish... AND script a TV series about the whole thing. One of the principals, Rhino Rugby CEO Reg Clark, speaks candidly and in-depth with host Matt McCarthy about this wild and intriguing venture. 🎖️ALSO INCLUDED: -The College Rugby Corner, with Pat Clifton of the College Rugby Show. 🎥 And don't miss this week's The Rugby Odds: https://rugbywrapup.com/category/the-rugby-odds/ 📢 Share this with fellow rugby fans and community advocates!
