Local Clubs merge

Santa Clara youth rugby has now merged with Silicon valley Rugby.
 Santa Clara who held club from u8-u14 will  not be a direct feeder for Silicon valley who is only a u19 club. this is great news for those of us local and who know better that in this day and age in order for rugby clubs to survive past a certain point in there life there has to be a established youth system to feed into.

"Motivated by a shared philosophy and approach to coaching youth rugby, Silicon Valley Rugby (SVRFC) and Santa Clara Youth Rugby (SCYR) have merged. As a high school club, Silicon Valley RFC was looking to expand down into the middle school division. At the same time, Santa Clara Youth Rugby was looking to expand up into the middle school division. The result - a single, continuous club rugby experience from kindergarten through high school!

Rest assured, the coaches from both clubs are continuing in the same capacity they had with their previous teams. Administratively, we will be using the SVRFC name for branding purposes while leveraging the SCYR charter and financials. For now, the older divisions will wear red and the younger divisions will wear blue. "

Welsh clubs want more cash to break away

ESPN Staff    From ESPN SCRUM
October 14, 2013
Welsh teams are set to ask for a bigger share of the spoils in return for ditching the Heineken Cup and throwing in their lot with the breakaway Champions' Cup according to a report in the Rugby Paper.
As it stands, projected income will only leave the clubs around £100,000 better off than they are in the current system - the paper estimates they get £1.3 million now - and it is felt that their as their participation is a key part of making the new event credible, they should get more of the income.
The English and French clubs leading the breakaway will make around £1.7 million each from the new competition and it is expected the Welsh will ask for the same when talks resume this week.
It is looking increasingly likely the Celtic unions will agree to back the new competition rather than be left with the shell of the Heineken Cup as it stands.
The Rugby Paper quoted an unnamed English source as saying "there is a reluctant acceptance of what we are doing … [there is a] realisation that what we are proposing is not as revolutionary as it sounds.
"The Unions might now recognise that this new competition is beneficial to everyone. There will be significantly more for all the competing teams."
