If the Crusaders are well and truly back in 2025 (and they are), then what on earth happened to them last season?

Mike Matarazzo isn't just a big body ... he's a student of the game and one of the young dynamic players in the MLR. Clocking in at 6'5", 250lbs, he's a tower in the lineout and has the hands to move the ball under pressure. We caught up with Mike back in fall of 2021 when he attending the U-23 Eagle Pathway Camp. At the time, Mike had just signed with Dallas and was selected to travel down to Uruguay with the Falcons. Since then, he's played a ton of MLR minutes, and was most recently selected for Team of the Week as he continues to get selected for the Chicago Hounds (both in the 2nd row and the loose). Mike has a huge rugby future ahead of him! Top 3 (Players Mike has shared the jersey with) - Evan Slattery - Flanker, Ginger, Super Fiery Rugby Player. Always made the big tackle. Pat McMahon - "Hell of a guy to play with" - M.M. Johan Momsen - Professor of lineouts, ATL leader. Special Thanks to Mike for rolling with the punches (waiting ~2 years since the recording!) Enjoy!

Sam Malcolm scored all 27 points in the Arrows 27-26 win over the Chicago Hounds! Stu and Derek are here to break down every detail of the historic performance, but first they take a look at the equally historic Battle of Thermopylae! After that is cleared up, they dive deep into the Arrows' win including Sam Malcolm's performance, the yellow cards, the brilliance of the pack, the attack, and other big individual performances. Then it's a trip around the league where they dive, Canadian milestones, Canadian tries, and a huge win for the NOLA Gold. Cover Photo: BHE Photos

The Bois hear from Greg Rodrigue, coach of Indianola Boys rugby who are back from taking a couple of years off. We then follow up with West Des Moines Valley Boys Head Coach Parker Czipar as they look to start practice this week and build off of last season's growth. Thank you for joining us! Lots of high school boys news coming up in the upcoming weeks!

Western Expansion The Hounds have been released, but how will they fare in 2023? The 2022 expansion team went 0-16 but seems to be building a strong fanbase. The 2021 expansion team smashed the league, nabbed the shield, but now are a relic of the past. Given the fact that Chicago inherited two top sides in the west via the "Expansion Draft", they'll be expected to compete for a playoff spot. Bold Prediction: Chicago wins the west in their first year. No one will be hungrier to win now than the players and coaches that got dumped in the GillyGate decision last year. The Hounds are a barkin' and dem dogs is hungry. Argies Do Dallas There's new Argentinian brass in the Jackals front office, and the only thing they give a shit about is winning games in 2023. Just like the (kiwi owned) Rugby (United) New York imported in kiwis late last year for a playoff run, Dallas will likely absorb some Argentinian test players throughout the season. It's a World Cup year, and every player who has RWC dreams is chomping at the bit to be seen by selectors. If a prominent Argentinian player isn't seeing time in a European competition, don't be surprised if he ends up doing Dallas. Bold Prediction: Dallas wins 6 or more games. Stands up in the Western conference, and plays spoiler down the stretch in May. They won't make the playoffs, but they will be night and day from their form last year. Sleepers in Seattle Is it even possible to Sleep on a 2x MLR Champ? Seattle has been consistently good since the league's inception. They've been building something fierce under head coach Allen Clarke. Hometown products like Eric Duechle and Cole Zarcone return to a strong roster of Seawolves that know how to hunt in a pack (or is it a pod?). Starfire Stadium remains a surefire place for a loud home field advantage ... (ps, we love and fully support the heckling of visiting team place kickers). Bold Prediction: Seattle makes the western playoffs and strikes up a new rivalry with the Chicago Hounds. We'll call it ... "The Battle for the Right to Wear Forest Green". Bit of a mouthful, but that's the working title for this soon to form Western conference rivalry. As we alluded to above, it's not necessarily BOLD to predict a perennial contender to make the big dance, so we'll throw in another BOLD prediction ... Alan Clarke = coach of the year 2023. PICKEM!

Episode Notes With preseason out of the way, we look at last week's stellar performance against Toronto and speculate about what it means for the team's upcoming season. A season that kicks off this Saturday! We preview the mysterious Chicago Hounds and give some predictions.

Well, at the time of publishing Gary Gold still hasn't resigned as Head Coach of the USA Eagles Mens XVs team, but surely it is only a matter of time?It's not exactly the happiest of Thanksgivings for USA Rugby, with failure to qualify for the Rugby World Cup in France next year giving cause for all sorts of speculation and chatter about the current and future state of the game in the States. So naturally we had to join in with some particularly brutal take downs of Gold and USA Rugby hierarchy.Jon still believes there's room for optimism though - positivity breeds positivity and all that! - so long as the club, college and pro levels are nurtured correctly, and whatever funding the US governing body gets isn't spaffed up the wall on another big-name overseas coach who ultimately doesn't care for the overall health of rugby in the US.Following our lengthy dissection of the Eagles v Portugal match and subsequent fallout, we also have a whole pile of news to get through including further elaboration on the newly-announce Chicago Hounds, building on what we touched on last week, and all the other MLR news. Drafts, player signings, the season schedule for 2023 - it's all in here today!We also give a quick update on the US squads for the upcoming Dubai and Cape Town Sevens legs of the World Sevens series, including an interesting new quick with the players' squad numbers.We finish up with the Raptor Report, where we do our best in the face of an information drought to update you on the American Raptors fortunes against the Colombian national side in Medellin, as well as the news that 3 former Raptors - including one who played in that match - have been selected in the XFL draft, and speculate about what this may suggest about the finances in American rugby.To donate to the Shetland RFC Movember effort, please click here.If you'd like to follow along on our socials you can do! - @allamericanrugbypod on Instagram, @aarugbypod on Twitter or by emailing aarugbypod@outlook.comWe also have our facebook group, where we discuss all things American rugby, making it the place to keep up with the show between shows!
