The Scrum of the Earth Rugby Podcast

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
