    San Diego Legion & USA Eagle Lock, Greg Peterson

    San Diego Legion & USA Eagle Lock, Greg Peterson

    USA Eagle No. 458, and former Newcastle Falcon and Glasgow Warrior, Greg Peterson, joined the show to talk about joining Major League Rugby’s San Diego Legion and this year’s USA Rugby calendar. Greg shares the reasoning for leaving European rugby to move to the West coast… well, let’s just say the weather may have had something to do with it. What’s Greg’s take on MLR’s differences in the style of play compared to URC or Prem Rugby. And, how are San Diego 4-1 after losing so many players in the off-season? Great fun as usual with Greg Peterson.
