On Saturday October 23, members of the Herd Women’s+ Team attended the U.S. v. New Zealand All Black match at FedEx Field. The event, known as the 1874 Cup, was named after the year the first rugby match was played in the United States. While the U.S. were handedly beaten, it was a thrill to watch New Zealand and all of their skill and fluid rugby beauty aka "champagne rugby" own the pitch. Always a highlight of any New Zealand match is being witness to the haka. https://www.allblacks.com/the-haka/
