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
