Cool thing about the history of rugby in the US :

Most of the best US rugby teams are in CA but there are hot spots all over. The SF bay area has lots of good players, but Belmont Shore (Long Beach) might have the best squad in the US right now.
SB rugby is known for its aggressive style and extensive study of its opponents' weaknesses [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
ps. all the pacific islanders are killers; amazing amount of talent for such a small population.
