When America Almost Joined The URC | Mini-Documentary

from HG Rugby Hosted by Pirate Rugby Pod

When America Almost Joined The URC - revisiting the attempts to get USA teams into the United Rugby Championship: Who wanted it, what were the pros, what were the cons, and why didn't it happen? In this documentary, I draw on historical evidence and contemporary sources to understand the nuance of these difficult questions and investigate the roles of South Africa, Ireland and Wales in the twists and turns of this controversial story. #rugby #unitedrugbychampionship #URC #southafrica #USA #america #ireland #wales #documentary Check out @NARugbyDB !
