Summary
In this episode of US Rugby Happy Hour, we sit down with the man who started it all as the first-ever Major League Rugby draft pick, Conner Mooneyham . We kick things off with a custom jingle that perfectly captures his "electric" speed on the wing and his status as a franchise cornerstone . Conner opens up about his grueling journey back from injury, explaining how a "reset" in his nutrition and physical therapy has him feeling like he has entered his true athletic prime just as he hits his 30th birthday . We dive deep into the locker room culture of Anthem Rugby, moving past the "first win" celebrations to discuss their legitimate status as playoff contenders. From the emotional coaching style of Agustin "Cuca" Cavalieri to a candid, unfiltered take on why the new MLR refereeing system might actually be slowing the game down, this interview covers the technical and the personal. Stay tuned until the end to hear a hilarious story about Conner’s dad, "Bad Moon Rising," and his insider trading in the fantasy rugby world!
