I recently went over a pretty sweet milestone. I'm just sorry I've not been able to be as active as I was when the season started! (I've been painting a nursery most weekends)
What have I missed, @USMLR people?

More and more requests for coverage of US rugby - hope this helps
Please share @UKMLRFans @TeamCorbs

No sir. It was briefly available on @lovellrugby, but I think MLR decided they wanted to keep it all in-house!
You're going to have to go to each team directly and pay the international postage. @USMLR themselves just sell generic MLR logo stuff. xitter.cf/Blurandski/status/1001…
You know I'm from - and based - in the UK, right?
Stop talking in riddles mate, you're embarrassing yourself. xitter.cf/baconears/status/10016…

I haven’t seen anything in BR, but I really don’t watch a ton of local news
I just don't get it?
"my colonial friend"?
"We" played rugby on beer for 150 years
“Wind your neck in” is specific to Yorkshire?
Are you alright? xitter.cf/baconears/status/10015…

Give it a few years. The irfu have quietly gone into some major football universities with a view to attracting guys that aren't quite NFL level but want to play pro sports. If the league can hold on for a few years, it will thrive.

Never seen anything on ESPN. CBS hasn't reported anything and same with Root sports (regional channel). At lest CBS shows mlr scores on bottom feeder during games that's it

The big difference so far seems to be the tremendous interest from mainstream media outlets in local markets, Daily newspapers with circulations in excess of Million print subscribers are reporting on matches.

Rugby very rarely gets any mention, outside of a rare highlight from 7s. My cousin texted me once about “the USA player that deked the fuck out of the Australian” but that’s about it. There are also mentions if related to some other story. Still needs time to build up.
Really interested to see how much, if at all, rugby has managed to permeate through to mainstream US sports coverage?
I know TV differs from over here, but how much attention has @USMLR managed to grab so far?
Catching up from Week #5.
If you want to show someone a rugby match for the first time, show them the highlights from the @SeawolvesRFC @warriorsrugbyut game!

It might take me a little time to want to think about rugby after the performance by @EnglandRugby over the weekend.
What's worse: Losing to a team that has only been together a few weeks - and been getting on the beers for at least half of that time...
Or shipping the most points EVER conceded at Twickenham?
