Quarantine & Chill With A Year's Of Worth Of Rugby

As we navigate through these trying times both nationwide and worldwide, we must do so without one of our greatest reliefs. 

Nearly every athletic event has been canceled or postponed as a result of the ongoing spread of the coronavirus, and as such players, fans, organizers, vendors, administrators, and any and everyone involved with sport find themselves in limbo as we wait this pandemic out.

However, if there is a silver lining here, this is an opportunity to reflect upon and appreciate competitions gone-by. 

Here we present a year's worth of FloRugby action, dated September 8th 2018 -- September 8th 2019, that subscribers can dive back into as we quarantine the time away in the coming weeks. 

In the aforementioned year, FloRugby subscribers were able to watch over 300 events spanning men's and women's, boys' and girls' rugby, ranging from school to club, to professional, to international competition. 


Additionally, subscribers have access to every FloRugby archive dating back its inception in 2016. If there's ever a time to delve into the recent history of rugby, particularly here in the United States, it would be now. 

Here's the gamut of events from Sep. 8th 2018 -- Sep. 8th 2019:

Women's International Rugby

Over the past year, FloSports has made a commitment to showcasing women's rugby, particularly on the international level. Subscribers are able to watch 29 international women's matches during this past calendar year. 

AUTUMN INTERNATIONALS

Beginning last fall, FloSports aired three major test matches between four of the top five women's teams in the world. Subscribers are able to watch:

SIX NATIONS

Moving forward into the new year, FloSports also aired the entire Six Nations which included:

WOMEN'S SUPER SERIES

During the summer, the top five women's teams in the world squared off in a round robin in Chula Vista, CA and subscribers had access to watch all of those games:

HSBC 7s WORLD SERIES 

*In addition, FloSports also broadcast the USA Eagles vs Barbarians match in the Spring. 

Men's International Rugby

On the men's side, subscribers were also helped to a solid lineup of test matches over the course of this last year. Viewers are able to watch 54 official test matches, as well as the USA Eagles vs Maori All Blacks, and nine more games from the Americas Pacific Challenge (contests which aren't technically test matches.)

AUTUMN INTERNATIONALS

During the Fall, FloSports was able to air 12 huge matchups between predominantly Tier 1 nations as well as two quality showdowns featuring the Eagles. Subscribers are able to watch:

AMERICAS PACIFIC CHALLENGE

Also in the Fall, subscribers got access to nine games in the Americas Pacific Challenge, which showcased the younger or developmental teams of the Americas nations. While the games weren't considered actual tests, they still featured in large part the guys who will be playing in the 2019 or 2023 World Cups. Here's what viewers are able to see:
