New Orleans, December 15th

"A mind is a precious thing to waste"

Thanks to all who have responded and shared their availability so far! It looks like we have a good committed group of U18 players for next year.

Maryland Exiles --

Our men's senior 15s team is playing NOLA Gold of MLR Rugby on 12/15 in New Orleans. This is a pre-season match for their 2019 Major League Rugby campaign and the team has announced a lot of amazing international player signings. They had scheduled HS Rugby exhibition match as a curtain raiser to our game with a team playing against the Louisiana All-Stars but the other team has since backed out. Would you have any players interested in playing a Stars HS 15s match? If you have players to recommend, especially tight five players, please let me know. Ideally we'd have the following schedule to mimic the senior men:

12/13 arrive in NOLA -- either fly into MSY or drive
12/14 team meetings, training sessions, meals etc
12/15 morning walk through. afternoon free for treatments, bonding. games approx 5pm for HS, 7pm for men. team dinner function to follow.
12/16 departures (tourist day for those interested)

I asked NOLA Gold to give me a week to see what I can put together. The cost would be approx $300 to cover hotels, rental cars, the coaches, athletic trainers, meals, tour swag. Our 15s kit is $165 for a jersey, shorts, socks, hoodie and singlet to keep.

Best,
Liz
