The wait is almost over, rugby fans! Anthem RC is making serious waves this off-season, and frankly, it’s about time. After years of coming up short, the organization has pulled off what might be the most ambitious roster transformation in Major League Rugby history.
Here’s what has us buzzing: four capped USA Eagles are now wearing Anthem colors among an impressive 16 new signings. That’s not just talent acquisition—that’s building a championship culture from the ground up. When you can field a lineup that mirrors the senior national team, you’re not just competing; you’re making a statement.
The crown jewel of these signings appears to be Luke Carty, whose veteran presence should provide the kind of field leadership Anthem has been desperately seeking. For American rugby fans, this represents something bigger than one team’s ambitions—it’s proof that MLR is becoming the destination for top-tier American talent.
Will 2026 finally be Anthem’s year? With this level of investment in proven USA internationals, the franchise has never been better positioned to break through. The pressure is on, but so is the potential for something truly special.
