Hello! My name is David Lawrence, and I'm an American Rugby fan who follows the game all over the globe. The Scrum of the Earth is a weekly podcast, with bonus episodes frequently thrown in. Each week, we look at news and results from around the world, and we look ahead to upcoming action. I support my USA Eagles, the New England Free Jacks in MLR, Scotland internationally, and a few other teams in leagues I follow, from the NPC to the Super Six. Please get in touch @OfScrum or TheScrumOfTheEarth@gmail.com, I am always happy to answer questions or respond to your ideas. Cheers, and be well!

Wherein I really enjoy a lovely weekend of SO much rugby, though I admit, I’m looking forward to the comparative peace that is on its way this coming weekend. Pretty sure I fulfilled my obligation to insert a heaping dollop of silliness, as well.

Famous Dubliner Jordie Barrett, Weekend Wrap Up, and More!
Wherein I am very excited to kick off our first weekly episode on the Sport Social Network, they’ve really been great, and I very much hope we can leverage this platform to reach new audiences. If you have yet shared or liked or reviewed or any of those things, please, just take a moment and do so, it’d be amazing to see more people all over the globe tuning in. As usual, I feel fairly confident I manage to insert a heaping dollop of silliness, as well.

Great podcast
Enjoyable podcast, great overviews of current events in the rugby world for those who may not have the time to watch everything. The author is super enthusiastic about the game!
