The World Cup-winning South Africa prop Tendai Mtawarira has signed for Old Glory DC, the Washington-based team which will enter Major League Rugby next year. I’ve been blessed to have that longevity and eventually come out of it as a World Cup winner. His signing is a major coup, for Old Glory and MLR. The New England Free Jacks and Rugby ATL, in Boston and Atlanta, join Old Glory as expansion projects. Sheehy predicted Old Glory would be “beyond competitive” in their first season, and said the signing of Mtawarira would “put a stake in the ground”.
