USA vs Canada Rugby League Colonial Cup, Conshohocken

In a typical, 80-minute USA Rugby League match, the players on the field are involved in more than 300 bone-rattling collisions. That's because USARL sets itself apart from other forms of rugby with a faster, more action-packed style of play with limited game breaks and no red lights on the infield stoplights. Currently, fans across the country can join the USARL movement by following teams in 14 different cities, including Atlanta, Jacksonville, Brooklyn and Boston. But the league doesn't just compete on U.S. soil: the national team, nicknamed the Hawks, pulls the league's biggest stars and lets them compete alongside each other against international foes. Currently, the Hawks are ranked 10th in the world following a 2013 World Cup campaign that saw them advance all the way to the quarterfinals.
