Next Level Rugby’s Ryan Ginty interviewed Yale Director of Rugby and featured speaker Greg McWilliams about the conference, the immediate future of the Yale Rugby program and ways to grow the game in Connecticut and around the country. 

On the docket for Yale is a training trip to New Zealand and South American tour. Also coming up this spring for the Bulldogs: The Connecticut Cup and Division 1 AA Ivy Playoffs.

McWilliams signaled a new direction for Yale Rugby, which is looking to develop an elite sevens program among other priorities. 

“In Yale at the moment there’s a really strong cultural change,” he told Ginty.  “We’ve got really strong backing from the alumni group, Friends of Yale Rugby, and the college is really supporting the Yale rugby program.”
