Major League Rugby returns for season six – with US game at a crossroads

theguardian.com

In January, the Utah Warriors of Major League Rugby announced an alliance with Stade Toulousain of France. Toulouse play at Stade Ernest Wallon, a temple of the world game which holds around 20,000 fans.

Champions of Europe five times and France 21 times, they field stars – including Antoine Dupont and Romaine Ntamack – who are set to shine at a home World Cup this year.

The Warriors play at the Zions Bank Stadium, capacity 5,000, in Herriman near Salt Lake City. In four completed MLR seasons they have made the playoffs twice.

They employ internationals including the ex-Harlequins centre Paul Lasike but he and the men’s US Eagles will not be at France 2023, having failed to qualify.
