USA Eagles Split the Series in South Africa While Double Overtimes Shake Up WER | Episode 254
About this episode
The USA Eagles leveled their test series against South Africa amidst broadcasting failures, while global rugby developments and domestic league updates are discussed.
Welcome to WRR 254 for July 6-12. In international 15s action, the USA Eagles bounced back to level their test series against South Africa, though the on-field triumph was vastly overshadowed by another broadcasting failure from World Rugby that left the match dark while 12 separate men’s fixtures streamed with no known issues. Over in the 7s arena, PRISM FUKUOKA won the Taiyo Seimei Women’s Series second stop. Off the field, global structural changes are accelerating as Spain unveiled a progressive multi-year roadmap, Australia pledged a multi-million dollar sports package to Fiji, and the rugby community united to defend Olympic star Ilona Maher from vile internet commentary. Finally, domestic leagues are heating up as both the Super W’s competition and Super Aupiki rapidly edge closer to the end of their competitive regular seasons, while the Denver Onyx climbed to the summit of the table following consecutive days of extra-time drama, and an independent review was formally launched to investigate a toxic culture at Coventry Welsh. 🌍 Our global women's rugby news recap can be found at…
