Rugby ATL is happy to announce we have signed Ryszard Chadwick as an assistant coach ahead of the 2023 Major League Rugby season.

“I am very pleased to have joined Rugby ATL as their assistant coach for the 2023 MLR season,” Chadwick said. “It is clear that Major League Rugby is growing and is here to stay in the USA. It plays a major part of development for the National Team as well as playing a major part in the development pathways and growing the game overall. Rugby ATL, as we know, already has two great coaches in Steve & Blake as well as their science support staff who all work hard to ensure that they create an environment of growth & performance for the players. I am looking forward to adding value where I can to this already expert team.”
