As we noted in the earlier article, playing during the spring window has been something that Tolkin and U.S.A. Rugby CEO Nigel Melville have been asking for. The move is both good and bad for the U.S. and Canada. On the one hand their full-time professionals should be at their peak while on the other hand they risk being in the midst of injury. Another factor is the lack of domestic rugby in February and early March. Something will have to be done to ensure that the domestic players are up to full speed. Either way, whoever wins the upcoming series between the U.S. and Canada should be in an advantageous position.
