GuestRaheemBashir

On today's show, I welcome Raheem Brashir, blog writer and copywriter at "Last Word On Sports" Today, our focus is on Rugby in Canada, specifically women's Rugby.  We touch on both codes, League and Union and we look at what is happening with the MLR (Major League Rugby) and the recent announcement of a Professional Women's Soccer League here in Canada

Rugby World Cup

In this Podcast, we go over both the Rugby League World Cup 2021  from the UK and the Rugby World Cup from New Zealand. We talk about the lack of funding for Women's Rugby in both codes and the fact that there is no North American League for these women to hone their skills. 
We look at the NARL and is there any life left in that dream. What about the CCCRL (Canadian Co-operative Championship Rugby), is there life left in that dream, that promise?
We talk about the MLR.

NARL Cancels 2021 Season

Just a note about the cancellation of the upcoming NARL North American Rugby League Season and the ever so quiet CCCRL. Canadian Cooperative Championship Rugby League...if that is the name. No news from the CCCRL is good news. Only time will tell.
Let's get this league up and running. I know there is a pandemic and patience is a virtue, however, any updates would keep the interest of fans. 
I speak my mind, these are my opinions and reflect on no other organization.
