The doors are opening. Being able to take that step is just the beginning.” BY STEVE DOUGLAS associated Press Rugby’s biggest tourna- ment is finally heading to the United States. Now comes the hard part for the sport’s leadership: gen- erating enough interest and sustainability to secure rug- by’s place in a crowded U.S. market. The Rugby World Cup will be staged in the U.S. for the first time after being voted Thursday as the host of the men’s event in 2031 and the women’s tournament two years later. It marks rugby’s first at- tempt to move into the wider American sporting conscious- ness and unlock what World Rugby — the global governing body — regards as an area of untapped potential, in both a commercial and sporting sense. “The golden nugget that ev- erybody wants to get hold of” was how World Rugby chair- man Bill Beaumont described America. “What we will leave in the U.S.,” he said, “is an extremely sustainable, vibrant sport that will go from strength to strength.” Mariners Continued from B3 Had that been their average for the season, they would be last in MLB in runs per game. And signs that their bats will wake up aren’t exactly abun- dant. Take a player such as out- fielder Jesse Winker, an off- season acquisition fresh off his first All-Star Game. He was supposed to be a consistent offensive presence for Seat- tle — someone who could at least come close to replicating the .949 OPS he put up for the Reds last season. Instead, he is hitting .204 with an OPS of .585 and a WAR of -0.5 as he struggles to catch up to oppos- ing pitchers’ fastballs. Or someone such as sec- ond-year player Jarred Kelenic, will be shared between World Rugby and USA Rugby, which filed for bankruptcy as re- cently as 2020. The bid received support from the White House, with U.S. President Joe Biden send- ing a letter to World Rugby last month giving governmen- tal guarantees and his backing for the “development of rugby in the United States.” The men’s Rugby World Cup is regarded in some parts of the world as the third big- gest sporting event, after the soccer World Cup and the summer Olympics. The United States is hosting all three events in a five-year span from 2026, starting with the men’s soccer World Cup that year — with Mexico and Canada as co-hosts — and then the Olympics in Los An- geles in 2028. For the first time, World Rugby used a streamlined bid process to enable it to an- nounce the hosts of all the World Cups from 2025-33, for both men and women. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was lit up in green and gold after Australia was awarded the men’s World Cup in 2027 and the women’s tournament in 2029. The men’s World Cup is re- turning to Australia for the first time since 2003. It is being viewed as a chance to rejuvenate rugby in the country as the World Cups come after the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia in 2025, bringing much-needed revenue to its governing body — Rugby Australia — that was badly hit by the pandemic. Rugby Australia chief exec- utive Andy Marinos called it “the start of a new era for Aus- tralian Rugby.” “Australia will become the center of the rugby world over the next decade,” he said, “and that is incredibly exciting.” The 2027 tournament will be the 40th anniversary of Australia and New Zealand hosting the first Rugby World Cup in 1987. England was announced as the host of the women’s World Cup in 2025. this trip and come back eight games below .500, it’s going to be hard to feel like the season isn’t lost. Of course, it’s worth noting that the Mariners were 23-27 last season before rallying to rattle off 90 wins. Baseball is a streaky sport — maybe the streakiest. But are you watch- ing this team right now and thinking they have the talent to win 11 of 12 and spring back into contention? It looked for a minute that the M’s might have an ace emerging in starting pitcher Logan Gilbert. And though he did strike out nine in five in- nings Wednesday, he also gave up a fourth-inning grand slam to Rhys Hoskins after walk- ing two Phillies, meaning he has allowed seven earned runs over his past 10 innings. The Mariners are desperate for a spark right but don’t know where it might come from. Will Robbie Ray rediscover the form that earned him the AL Cy Young Award with the Blue Jays last season? Will rookie Ju- lio Rodriguez deliver statistics commensurate with his natu- ral talent? Because right now it’s basically just shortstop J.P. Crawford and first baseman Ty France trying to carry a team that’s in full-on flounder mode. Servais talked Wednesday about the chance to reset after playing 16 consecutive games, most of which ended poorly. Such a reset is essential. The Mariners hopped on a plane Wednesday to get away from Seattle for a bit. While they’re gone, they have to make sure the season doesn’t get away from them. — Victoria Folayan, who played sevens rugby for the U.S. and is USA Rugby’s athlete representative Mark Baker/aP A Sydney ferry sails past the illuminated pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge ahead of the final vote for the hosting of the Rugby World Cups on Thursday. USA Rugby’s vision is of countrywide membership more than quadrupling to 450,000 by 2031, of stadiums “from coast to coast” staging matches — there have been around 25 venue bids, includ- ing from NFL and MLS arenas — and of significant invest- ment in the domestic Major League Rugby so that the USA Eagles has a competitive team in time for 2031. Then of the on-field quality one of the most-hyped pros- pects the Mariners have had in years. He is batting .140 after an embarrassing attempt at pinch-hitting vs. Philadelphia on Wednesday, when he struck out on four pitches without taking a swing. Servais said Monday that he was encouraged by what he had seen from the 22-year-old recently, even if it wasn’t show- ing up in the box score. On Wednesday, however, he ap- peared to hedge a little on his previous comments. “We were headed in a pretty good direction. I think he was a little frustrated with his at- bat today, no question,” Servais said. “He’ll continue to get the opportunity to play here.” How often he’ll get to play is another question, though. The Mariners are set to begin of the World Cups themselves putting rugby in such a good light that there is an uptick in people playing rugby and watching the sport on TV. “It’s an invitation to increase our levels of awareness, to in- crease our sport’s fan base,” said Victoria Folayan, who played sevens rugby for the U.S. and is USA Rugby’s ath- lete representative. “The doors are opening. Being able to take that step is just the beginning.” To that end, World Rugby’s experience of taking its men’s showpiece tournament to Asia for the first time in 2015 — when Japan was the host — will be key in getting the U.S. ready for its debut. Not just the public, but the national team itself. While the women’s team won the inaugural World Cup in 1991 and reached the final in the next two events, the men’s Eagles have never got out of the pool stage at a World Cup and are basically shut out from playing the world’s top teams on an an- nual basis. That is something World Rugby is looking at in its on- going attempts to shake up the men’s international calendar so that emerging nations like the United States receive more opportunities.
