Always enjoy this tourney.
Would like to see Wales win it.

Maybe throw some coin on it to try and win ?

but yea I expect Ireland to run over it. maybe even a grandslam

maybe a bigger one could be, Can italy get it's first win in a match since 2015?

Ireland for sure the favorite. If they run the table, they'll actually pass up New Zealand in the World Rugby rankings.

MLR Standings after week 1 (Toronto and New York are new franchises for 2019):

Didn't even know Nola had a professional league rugby team. They had a club team last I remember.

I only know two guys from the roster. I expected more.

A handful of locals on this week's lineup

We're missing several players who are away on international duty for the ARC, notably Cam Dolan, starting #8 for USA.

#4 from Jesuit
#5 went to Tulane
#16,17, 22 went to Shaw

LV Rugby Sevens 1 month away.

It's funny that we have the Rugby Sevens and NASCAR here the same weekend. Both events have functions downtown and it makes for a fascinating cross section of fans.
