Social Media Wrap-Up Wednesday (1/16)
Headlining this week in rugby: fancy footwork, new kit partnerships and a bus accident.
In the first edition of FloRugby's social media wrap-up, we have a look into some of the hottest news, clips and drama in American rugby and abroad. Headlining this week in the rugby social media universe: fancy footwork, new kit partnerships and a bus accident.
USA Rugby Canterbury
Canterbury consistently puts out the highest quality kit in rugby, so any rugby fashionista should be elated with the recent news of the USA Rugby and Canterbury partnership. Could we see USA playing in red soon? How about stars and stripes?
RUNY's Bus Blunder
American rugby fans can't wait for Major League Rugby's second season to kickoff, and neither could the Rugby United New York bus driver. The team bus was involved in a fender bender that led to a massive delay and eventual cancellation of their pre-season match with the Toronto Arrows.

?BREAKING?
— Rugby United New York (@rugbyunitedny) January 12, 2019
Due to a traffic accident in Manhattan, Rugby United New York will not be able to travel to Buffalo.
There have no been injuries.
Texas Tensions
There could be a rivalry forming down in Texas between the Austin Elite and Houston SaberCats. This tense picture produced by the @Hou_Sabercats has MLR fans itching for season two to kick off. Austin brought home the pre-season victory, but they face off again on Jan. 26.
See you tomorrow @austineliterugby ?

Simon Zebo's tweet sparked an investigation over fan misconduct following Racing 92's close loss to Ulster. Ulster officials announced their investigation into the perpetrators of the racist jeers Zebo hinted at in his tweet. Read more here.

Although Zebo may be caught up in the aforementioned drama, Racing 92 fans won't soon forget this run from Zebo's backline partner Teddy Thomas.
Another wing making moves is Malakai Fekitoa, except the All-Black is making his moves off the pitch. Fekitoa has signed with the London Wasps and will leave Toulon at the end of the season. How about this welcoming from the @WaspsRugby Twitter.
