Play Rugby in USA

One of our Old Goats abroad has checked in from his home in the USA. Those of you who have been at the club a while would probably remember Chris Herzog the dashing yankee Hooker who was studying at Curtin as an exchange student. Chris now plays for Dallas RUFC and is looking for any rugby players who want to travel to the US. Free accommodation and even a job can be found for any intrepid travellers. Check out their website http://www.dallasrugby.org/ or email Chris on cherzog@swsystems.com to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.
