My club has had a fairly solid youth program for many years and USA Rugby is certainly pushing this aspect of the game.
Glad to be able to watch on US television. Thanks to NBC for their commitment for 5 years.

You hit the nail on the head regarding rugby here. Luckily I also know of a lot of ex-South Africans bringing rugby to schools in Atlanta and beyond. BUt the sport id growing and that is encouraging. Personally, I am looking forward to the day the Eagles beat SA.
NBC's YouTube channel has decent highlight coverage of the games, and some on the World Rugby channel too.
