~surprise bonus content~ For the past several months, I've been writing a book titled This is Rugby. It's still in progress, with my goal for completion being the beginning of August. This evening, however, I wrote what will be the last three pages of the book. I felt them deeply and I wanted to share them with you right now because I think they're timely and speak to where we are as a sport, a society, and a country. I hope you enjoy, and we'll be back on Friday with a regular episode.
