Many people are of the opinion that the Territorial Union system of governance of the game in the United States has long since passed its use by date.

Furthermore, it begs the question whether the TU way of doing things is actually holding back development of the game at many levels.

The Rugbytalk panel of Brian Lowe, Ray Viers and Mike Diamantopoulos examines this thorny issue.

They also put the USA Rugby Congress under the microscope to determine whether it is anything other than a white elephant.

Rugbytalk #112 is presented by ScrumMaster, Rah Rah Rugby and LBG Development.
