This week we speak with Louis Stanfill who is now playing in Italy. We also learn about his family background which is fascinating to say the least!

Rob Holder is one of the game's great men. He runs the Spearhead Academy and it is a great service to American Rugby. But he needs support. We also discuss Rugby at Cal and the Varsity to Club controversy.

This is an epic show. Former Eagle Ray Lehner is our first guest and we quiz him on his recent stepping down as head coach of the USA U20's.

There are several burning issues in this one .. a show not to miss is you care about American rugby.

There's a touch of class this week on the show. Fresh from the Women's World Cup we're joined by American super athlete Phaidra Knight.

We're back after a short break and there's plenty to talk about in USA Rugby. Bruce calls for calm while ranting away and we welcome Alex Goff to the panel.

The week we get a little geeky with Dave Hodges - USA Eagles forwards coach and video analyst. There are so many options available to coaches when it comes to video and statistics but what best suits your needs? Dave is the man when it comes to breaking down your performance during a game or training. Rugby USA is leading the way on many fronts but it's all about balance.

Today we go straight to the top and check in with USA Rugby CEO Nigel Melville. Bruce McLane digs deep into U20s and development rugby among many other pressing subjects. The Olympics, Sevens and funding are just some of the issues we deal with today. And don't forget to try out new iPhone app - just search for RuggaMatrix in iTunes.
