The Fourth of July is a meaningful celebration for the US Rugby Foundation — not only as the birthday of American independence, but also as the birthday of Brian “Vizzy” Vizard.

‍

After retiring as an Eagle, Brian dedicated decades of his life to growing the game of rugby across the country. His leadership, passion, and dedication left a lasting mark on the sport we love.

‍

As we reflect on freedom and tradition, we invite you to join us in recognizing Brian’s tremendous contributions to rugby in America.

‍

Happy Birthday, Vizzy — and Happy Fourth of July to all!
