Interesting read. I’ve been following the development of PRO Rugby pretty closely and am cautiously optimistic about its success. Out here in California, club traditions and fan bases run deep with the PRP and local clubs, so it will be interesting to see how players and fans gravitate to the somewhat “sterile” brand of PRO Rugby in its first season. Also will be interesting to watch how each of the 5 cities develop the “brand” of their new team… we shall see.
