Major League Rugby Fans in 🇬🇧

Jumping over #HumpDay like @RyanMatyas1 in our last home match vs. @Hou_Sabercats 🛡💥 #mlr #rugby #sandiego #sdlegion #wearelegion @SDSportAlliance @SDLegionFans @SanDiego_Sports @UKMLRFans

@PeterOelofse @usmlr @dc_mlr I'm a bit boring - I'd go with Washington DC RFC, or just DC RFC. I'm also not that imaginative!

@UKMLRFans @usmlr Saw the @dc_mlr team had a competition to name the team at the SA vs Wal game. What name would you put into the hat?

1,000 followers?! 🎉 I recently went over a pretty sweet milestone. I'm just sorry I've not been able to be as active as I was when the season started! (I've been painting a nursery most weekends) What have I missed, @USMLR people?

WIN a replica home & away jersey for both you & a friend when you RSVP to the June 17th match vs. AER Facebook event (bit.ly/AERvsSDL) and invite ten friends. Make sure you tag them in the comments of the event! Winner will be announced on Thursday, June 14 #rugby #sd

YES!!! Glad you got your shirt, Phil! twitter.com/CaerlyrOsprey/…

More and more requests for coverage of US rugby - hope this helps Please share @UKMLRFans @TeamCorbs talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/major-league-r…

@lovellrugby @usmlr P.S., I'm assuming you meant merch.

No sir. It was briefly available on @lovellrugby, but I think MLR decided they wanted to keep it all in-house! You're going to have to go to each team directly and pay the international postage. @USMLR themselves just sell generic MLR logo stuff. twitter.com/Blurandski/sta…

@AlRoberts85 @jumbo230 @usmlr @SeawolvesRFC @SeattleSaracens @Saracens @nolagoldrugby Awesome! How have you found it compared to the UK game? In terms of standard

@jumbo230 @UKMLRFans @usmlr @SeawolvesRFC @SeattleSaracens @Saracens @nolagoldrugby As a massive rugby fan who relocated from London to Seattle in January, to say I'm delighted at the timing of pro rugby in the US is a huge understatement. Atmosphere at these games has been outstanding!

@UKMLRFans #winning in Seattle. A Rugby community, new fans, both teams celebrating together @usmlr @SeawolvesRFC @SeattleSaracens @Saracens @nolagoldrugby. Flights are direct from London 🏉✈️#sportstourism

@jumbo230 @usmlr @SeawolvesRFC @SeattleSaracens @Saracens @nolagoldrugby Great to see! And if that's an offer to buy my some airline tickets that's very kind!

You know I'm from - and based - in the UK, right? Stop talking in riddles mate, you're embarrassing yourself. twitter.com/baconears/stat…

@Geaux_HR @UKMLRFans I haven’t seen anything in BR, but I really don’t watch a ton of local news

I just don't get it? "my colonial friend"? "We" played rugby on beer for 150 years “Wind your neck in” is specific to Yorkshire? Are you alright? twitter.com/baconears/stat…

Matt says Ding Dong, Joe doesn't sing Aladdin and James remains impartial as always! Pod 7 is out! #USMLR #MLR #MajorLeagueRugby #Rugby #RugbyFamily #Podcast soundcloud.com/user-904632889…

@agentkooper @SeawolvesRFC @warriorsrugbyut @usmlr Awesome!! Looked like the game had it all.

Catching up from Week #5. If you want to show someone a rugby match for the first time, show them the highlights from the @SeawolvesRFC @warriorsrugbyut game! youtube.com/watch?v=3CHH1T… (@USMLR YouTube)

@EarfulOfDirt @usmlr @glendaleraptors @SeawolvesRFC @nolagoldrugby @warriorsrugbyut @SdLegion @Austin_E_Rugby @Hou_Sabercats @r_MLRugby That's great news!

@UKMLRFans @usmlr @glendaleraptors @SeawolvesRFC @nolagoldrugby @warriorsrugbyut @SdLegion @Austin_E_Rugby @Hou_Sabercats @r_MLRugby The big difference so far seems to be the tremendous interest from mainstream media outlets in local markets, Daily newspapers with circulations in excess of Million print subscribers are reporting on matches.

Really interested to see how much, if at all, rugby has managed to permeate through to mainstream US sports coverage? I know TV differs from over here, but how much attention has @USMLR managed to grab so far?

@UKMLRFans @usmlr @glendaleraptors @SeawolvesRFC @nolagoldrugby @warriorsrugbyut @SdLegion @Austin_E_Rugby @Hou_Sabercats @r_MLRugby @EarfulOfDirt Give it a few years. The irfu have quietly gone into some major football universities with a view to attracting guys that aren't quite NFL level but want to play pro sports. If the league can hold on for a few years, it will thrive.

@UKMLRFans @usmlr @glendaleraptors @SeawolvesRFC @nolagoldrugby @warriorsrugbyut @SdLegion @Austin_E_Rugby @Hou_Sabercats @r_MLRugby @EarfulOfDirt Never seen anything on ESPN. CBS hasn't reported anything and same with Root sports (regional channel). At lest CBS shows mlr scores on bottom feeder during games that's it
