Scottish Rugby Announces United States Partnership
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the recently announced partnership between Scottish Rugby and the United states' Major League Rugby (MLR) team, Old Glory DC; congratulates Scottish Rugby on being the first Tier 1 national governing body to link with a MLR club; notes that the DC team is a professional club that joined MLR in November 2018 and will begin play in the 2020 season; welcomes what it sees as this significant investment; considers that this will bring great economic potential for Scottish Rugby as Washington DC is one of the United States' rugby hotbeds; believes that this strategic partnership will see Scottish Rugby supporting the development of the game both at home and internationally, and wishes it the very best in developing its relationship with Old Glory DC in the years to come.
