Love to see it! Let’s get her some support #ForwardParty #bethechange #demandbetter

[Forward Party New York @forward_ny]

New Yorkers demand the best. We take pride in our state. “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere!”

NY, are our current leaders really the best we can do?

If you think better is possible, consider a small donation. Help us make it here! #FWD

@DanLyle8 @USARugby Hoping @USARugby can live tweet some updates since there is no functioning feed here in the US

[Monday Morning Fly Half @mmflyhalf]

Exciting contest! Nice Father’s Day present to see @rugbynewyork through! #mlr2022

In this weeks #MMFH, we check in with the four teams emerging as conference leaders going into the home stretch of the @usmlr season. And it features several whale references for @MartinPengelly #MLR2022

[The Rugby Network @therugbynetwork]

Like the ancestral New Englanders of Herman Melville’s day (though quite a bit less bloody), the @NEFreeJacks caught their whale on Saturday. They outlasted @SeawolvesRugby 24-22, making it six on the bounce for the Waaka-led ‘jacks.

This @RugbyATL v @NEFreeJacks fixture is a real cracker through 25 min. #mlr2022 #usarugby

@therugbynetwork @usmlr @CraigGridelli Article inspired in part by @JohnnyUtah456 ‘s provocative tweeting about the east

[Monday Morning Fly Half @mmflyhalf]

In this week’s #MMFH we look at the @usmlr East vs the West and we observe, at least so far, the East has proven to have a clear upper hand #MLR2022

Turns out my daughter has the same reaction to making a successful open field tackle as I do #rugby #prodigy #tackle

[Monday Morning Fly Half @mmflyhalf]

@JohnnyUtah456 Yes

[Monday Morning Fly Half @mmflyhalf]

It’s all about winning your loops in this week’s #MMFH #MLR2022

[The Rugby Network @therugbynetwork]

There are a lot of ways to win in rugby.

@RugbyATL, @rugbynewyork & @Hou_Sabercats each showed a unique path to victory that sheds light on how they will seek to win their loops for the rest of the season in chase of a playoff berth.

Check out this week’s #MMFH. Some big matches in the West are now in the history books. Have we seen enough to say that the west is the @Gilgronis to lose? #MLR2022

[The Rugby Network @therugbynetwork]

Four undefeated teams came into Week 4. Only two left that way.

Angus Cottrell through the breakdown is the #1 attack of the @Giltinis over their franchise history thus far #LAvNE #MLR2022

[Monday Morning Fly Half @mmflyhalf]

@JohnnyUtah456 Mauls for days though

[Monday Morning Fly Half @mmflyhalf]

@JohnnyUtah456 How sharp the Dallas attack (excluding scrum) looks

[Monday Morning Fly Half @mmflyhalf]

@usmlr @RugbyATL @NEFreeJacks @rugbynewyork @TorontoArrows @nolagoldrugby @OldGloryDC @therugbynetwork Are they? Third best record in the east shouldn’t get too comfortable

[Monday Morning Fly Half @mmflyhalf]

This week’s #MMFH is out. Lot of drama across @usmlr #MLR2022 week 3, and the home teams mostly came out on the short end.

[The Rugby Network @therugbynetwork]

Week 3 gave @usmlr fans one thrill after another.

Instant classics in ATL, NOLA, SD & Dallas all ended in heartbreak for the home sides, but Austin defended the castle, outfighting the Warriors to remain ascendant in the early season.
