USA VS. New Zealand All Blacks in Chiacgo!!!

Well our fall season is over but the fun isn't over just yet...one of the biggest rugby events is about to happen in our back yard.

-

Nov. 1st marks a momentous occasion that has been a long time coming.  Our country will be hosting, arguably the best rugby team in the world today...the All Blacks have been dominating teams for years and the "great" city of Chicago will be the host city for this clash.  With only a few days before the event don't plan to buys tickets unless you don't mind the skyrocketed prices this contest has created...the game sold out in days and the event is sure to over and above all of our expectations.  This event should show the powers that be, that maybe just maybe the USA is ready for its own professional level of rugby?

No tickets?  Well your in luck!!! The game is set to also be broadcast nationally by NBC!!!

Our team alone will be covering a minimum of 40 seats at Soldier Field watching the spectacle that is professional rugby!!!
