Anyone heading for the USA, or who wishes to spend some time there playing or coaching rugby, should contact Stephen Keane. He wrote to Planet Rugby in an effort to try and find a coach/players for a Division Two New York/New Jersey rugby team. The standard would be equivalent to AIB League Division Three/Four and the club is made up of a mix of some 40 Irish and American players. The season starts in April but the league is in September and October. Stephen confirms that the club will be able to offer limited assistance with the airfare, accommodation and getting a job.

Anyone interested can contact him at skeane@pershing.com.
