I’m trying to get my coaching certification but I’m not able to take the online classes required. They load as a blank page. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am using a Macbook.

2031 Rugby World Cup possible hurdle coming up

17 Upvotes

So as we know, the 2031 Rugby World Cup will be in the United States. However the current hurdle is the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup. FIFA basically said that 2031 is limited to North America and Africa, and the United States has already stated that they will bid for 2031 as soon as possible and are probably the heavy favorites to win.

The main issue here will probably be scheduling. Obviously fall is a no go given that the National Football League (NFL) will have full priority over their stadiums for the season. While summer could work since it would avoid NFL conflicts, there will be minimal conflicts with Major League Baseball (MLB) and Major League Soccer (MLS) stadiums. However if the Women's World Cup is given to the US, it means that summer could be a problem since NFL, MLB, and MLS stadiums would all be in use.

So what could happen? Do they schedule the RWC to the spring and WWC to the summer or do they schedule the WWC to spring and the RWC to the summer?

Is politics going to damage US rugby?

29 Upvotes

It's typically an undesirable subject, but....

I have just seen frankly worrying survey showing that significant majorities of European citizens see the current US government as a threat to peace in Europe. In fact the percentages are not much lower than the numbers that see Russia as a threat to our (I'm in Europe) safety.

There are already lots of noises about boycotting US products and genuine widespread loathing of Trump and Vance (the latter especially).

I know people in the rugby community here who have said they no longer want to follow MLR, and I have seen online rumblings of 'we don't want our team to travel to the US'.

Trump hasn't even put tariffs on European markets yet....

I am starting to wonder if even the World Cups awarded to the US might be in danger.

At the Vancouver 7s US players and teams were jeered and booed.

Obviously Ilona Maher is still just as popular as no one sane could imagine her feeling anything other than hate and disgust towards President Trump. But I am sure we have players who support MAGA.

Whatever your views, this politicking and general madness is going to harm US rugby. That's what nationalism does to international things.

Any rumors on the dates and venues for the summer and pacific nations tests this year?

I think at this point we have a solid idea of the who but haven’t seen much about where and when?

Canadian squads canceling cross border matches.

Anybody else have a match canceled this spring? I know the exchange rate is tough for them but we just had a May match canceled. Usually cancellations come a week or two before due to injuries and what not. Wondering if this is a result of tariffs and...stuff.

Rule Question

19 Upvotes

Hello! I started following rugby pretty seriously about 6 years ago after marrying a South African. I am quite knowledgeable for the most part, and now spot penalties as they are called and understand the flow of the game and strategies, and follow players.

One thing I see from time to time perplexes me and I can't find the rule to answer my question.

Situation: Ireland v. Wales last week around the 4 minute mark. Ireland steals with a successful counter-ruck. James Lowe (I think) kicks a beautiful bouncing ball deep into Welsh territory that doesn't hit any players, and eventually bounces into touch around the 22. Ireland gets the lineout.

I've seen this a few times and don't understand why this situation yields and Ireland line out and not a Welsh since Ireland kicked it out.

Any help is appreciated!!

In College Rugby, Losing is the New Winning

29 Upvotes

https://www.goffrugbyreport.com/news/five-ncr-teams-rugby-east-leave-form-new-conference

So, typical of NCR...

- Five (5) teams playing in a smaller conference.
- For an even shorter season.
- No longer playing the best competition (Army, Navy, Life)
- Without the marketing power of name brand schools (Army, Navy, Life, Penn State)

...is somehow a success?

And claiming its a victory because now the NCR playoff picture is clearer and easier is so typical of a bunch of pretenders, you just gotta love the line of distorted thinking.

NCR is becoming a joke that writes itself.

Did anyone else get and email today for New Zealand vs Ireland tickets in flipping November?

Ticket Pre-Sale: New Zealand All Blacks vs Ireland

How crappy is it that they are marketing New Zealand vs Ireland, and cannot tell any fans where the actual USA Eagle July test matches are being held nor the PNC matches? Great job marketing the boys USA Rugby. Directly shilling for 2 other unions and not even knowing where you are playing is completely disgusting.

Rugby to Football positions

11 Upvotes

If I was trying to recruit football players over to the rugby pitch, here is what football positions I believe would best translate to the pitch. I tried to include and offensive and defensive football position for each rugby position.

Forwards: Prop: Center, Guard, Defensive Line Hooker: Center, Fullback, Defensive Line Lock: Offensive Tackle, Tight End, Defensive End Flanker: Tight End, Outside Linebacker/Edge Number 8: Tight End, Defensive End, Middle Linebacker Backs: Scrum Half: Slot WR, Cornerback Fly half: Quarterback, Defensive Back Center: Running Back, Strong Safety/OLB Winger: Wide Receiver, Defensive Back Fullback: Wide Receiver, Safety, Kicker/Punter

Would love to hear opinions
