We need to talk about USA rugby. World Rugby have revealed a plan to invest $250m into rugby in the USA leading up to the host the rugby world cup on 2031. The news comes at a time when Major League Rugby (MLR) is in crisis thanks to teams shutting down & rugby elsewhere on the American continent appears to have overtake the US. So, what's really happening here and what is the real problem? In this podcast I was joined by MLR rugby fan and analyst James Deeley to truly understand what is going on in MLR, how it feeds into the struggles of the US men's Eagles and what needs to change to awake this sleeping giant. We also manage to squeeze in a chat about the Women's Rugby World Cup, how women's rugby is doing in America and what we both love (and hate) about rugby statistics! #usa #rugby #america #rugbyunion #majorleaguerugby #MLR #podcast #analysis #womensrugby #canada Follow me on twitter: https://x.com/HuwGriffinRugby Follow James on twitter: https://x.com/JamDelay Chapters 0:00 USA & Canada Women's World Cup 7:00 Canada Men Review 12:35 USA Men Review 18:02 MLR Crisis 26:04 Did MLR Ever Work? 33:30 Thoughts on WER 34:55 Foreigners in MLR Debate 48:34 Join The URC? 51:28 Stats Nerds!

Fiji have sewn up a third consecutive Pacific Nations Cup win with victory over Japan in the grand final. Are they now too good for the PNC? Fijian rugby is in the best place it ever has been and they have firmly made the step from T2 nation to T1. Welcome back to the HG Rugby Podcast. The Pacific Nations Cup might not be the competition that gets the most press coverage, certainly not compared to the Six Nations or the Rugby Championship, but this year, in 2025, it was perhaps one of the most consequential championships in the world, as it decided not only who gets the glory of being the Pacific Champions, but also who gets an automatic World Cup spot in Australia. This year, Fiji took home their third consecutive crown, and once again, A.D. Jones of Japan came up short. To deep dive all of it, I'm welcoming back one of my favourite guests to the HG Rugby podcast, journalist Steve Noble.
