Great job!

I wish to express my disdain at the method in which the collegiate South championship has been decided.
As a senior member of the rugby team at the University of Tennessee I without a doubt carry a certain bias, but anyone who witnessed the tremendous levels of intensity, determination and emotion displayed by Tennessee and Arkansas State would agree that such a match (especially for a conference championship) deserves a more decisive result.
With no clear victor at the end of 80 minutes, it was determined that, rather than producing a definitive result through the boots of kickers or some other form of overtime competition, the South championship will be won on points differential from the course of the matrix season, thus making champions of Arkansas State.
Arkansas State is an excellent team, and quite possibly deserving of the title of champion. But come Saturday's end, the general feeling across the pitch was an unsatisfying air of the whole issue left unresolved. Nobody liked the result, very few agreed with it, and both teams deserve better.

I like the website quite a bit. I'm no rugby expert, but started following the sport about 7-8 years ago. I was wondering if you might consider adding a list of Americans playing overseas to your content (obviously the Hercus article made me think of this).
In a number of US based soccer sites they have a "Yanks abroad" section detailing the number of games played, scoring, etc. I honestly don't know how many Americans play overseas other than the obvious few, and I don't know how hard match info is to come by depending on the locations.
Just a thought.
