MLR Kickoff Podcast EP80: Toronto Arrows and San Diego Legion

Ft. Lucas Rumball, Psalm Wooching, Chris Silverthorn, & Zack Test

With the days counting down to opening weekend. Dan and Pete sit down with members of the Toronto Arrows and San Diego Legion.

The Toronto Arrows ended 2020 just behind the San Diego Legion in the Major League Rugby standings when the season was called off. Dan sits down with both Head Coach Chris Silverthorn and Co-Captain Lucas Rumball. Chris gets down to the nitty gritty of planning to prepare his team knowing that they likely may not play in Canada in 2021 and how much of a help Rugby ATL has been to embrace the Arrows for 2021. Lucas Rumball shares that although he thought the rest he’d gotten after the 2019 World Cup was adequate, the long offseason allowed himself to both mentally recharge and connect with his teammates.

Zack Test joined Pete to discuss his transition from assistant with the Legion to Co-Head Coach in his fourth season with the club alongside his partner in Scott Murray. Psalm Wooching discusses all the changes that the team has gone through in the long offseason and what the temporary move to Vegas has been like for both his teammates and their spouses. The truly weird thing Psalm notes is that Vegas is the first place he’s lived that hasn’t been on the Pacific Ocean.

After retiring in 2020, Lou Stanfill contracted cancer, he drops by to discuss his status and the surge of support that the US Rugby community provided him and his family.
