Will Hooley

But I think if you look closely at it, you'll see some real, real exciting talent that are Eagles eligible and, you know, have the real potential to, you know, if afforded the opportunity and if willing to take it, we'll really be able to support and grow with USA Rugby in the years to come.

I was always curious, you know, talking to you, Marcel, over the years, you know, Will Hooley, a bunch of the people who were, you know, discovered, oh, by the way, yeah, you were born in LA, whatever.

And, It seems to me like USA Rugby should get a massive contract with 23andMe or some DNA service.

It just says anyone born or has a parent born in America kind of thing.

Yeah, I think Old Glory crushed this draft.

You agreed with Will Hooley then, huh? Yep.

Rick and James talked about, oh, where are these guys going to fit? We've heard it before from MLR GMs.

They take the best player available.

I have been there, and I understand that there was probably some behind-the-scenes stuff that we aren't aware of, and I don't want to speculate.

Obviously, there was intention that Will Hooley was going to be, obviously, on the show and doing something.

We did see a Will Hooley appearance towards the tail end, but...

it did appear that Alex Goff was kind of thrown into the fire when it comes to hosting duties.

I think that was

no question.

But

yeah, it was clearly not 100% according to plan because there was supposed to be, like you said, Will Hooley, I think, hosting and coordinating everything.
