Rugby ATL is proud to announce that @changochance has re-signed through to the 2022 season. Wenglewski played in all 5 matches for Rugby ATL in their inaugural season.
In the Fall of 2018, Wenglewski competed with the USA Senior Men’s National Team against the Maori All Blacks at Soldier Field in Chicago. He was officially capped for the first time in the Eagles’ test match against, then, No. 2 in world rankings, Ireland, at Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
Now recognized as Eagle #531, Wenglewski has earned 6 caps with USA Rugby and just recently travelled as part of the 2019 Rugby World Cup squad to Japan. With an immense amount of talent, skill, and drive Wenglewski has the opportunity to compete for the most international appearances by any United States Eagle.
Wenglewski not only provides international experience for the young squad but brings much more to the club. Chance and his fiance Mariah, have played a key role in the designing of Rugby ATL’s Headquarters but more importantly Chance showcases what it means to be a man of accountability and humility. His dedication to developing our youth and the people around him are on exhibit daily by his selfless nature

We are proud to announce that @neethling_gericke has signed an extension through the 2021 Major League Rugby season. Neethling brings accuracy in the set piece and tremendous leadership to the locker room. A visionary of the game, “Neets” has co-created Pathway 404, the first true model to accelerate an individual’s journey through the American Rugby landscape.
“Neets is the example of what we look for in our men. A competitor on the pitch who serves our Pathway 404 and youth for the greater Southeast. We look forward to having Neets this season and beyond,” said Head Coach Scott Lawrence.
“I am very excited to be back. This is the best place to be a rugby professional in the United States. Looking forward to what this franchise will be able to accomplish in this next season,” Gericke added.
