Gelen Robinson to Switch to...Rugby?

Listen, my knowledge of Rugby could fit into a thimble. I know that the US generally isn’t good at Rugby on the international scene and that countries like New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa are generally pretty good. I also know they often, or all the time?, dive into the endzone when they score. Now though, there’s going to be a Purdue flavor to US rugby.

Here’s an article about a rugby crossover program looking to increase the popularity of US rugby, internationally. They have recruited Purdue Alum, Gelen Robinson!https://t.co/SvYUUJcd12

Gelen Robinson will be joining a program that is intended to take some of the great athletes the United States has and get them into rugby.
