"State of the Union", a US rugby news show

Since starting a rugby life, I have always been thinking of new ways to create engaging content.  I have long wanted to create something utilizing video that is original and highlights the growing rugby scene here in the US.   So after much development, I am pleased to announce my last project, "State of the Union", the first US rugby news show on the web. 

Maccabi USA Rugby try outs a great success
