One of the biggest features of engagement PRO Rugby touted prior to the start of the season was that fans were going to be able to name each team. Now after thousands of submissions and thousands of votes the verdict is in. From now on the teams will be know as:
Denver Stampede
Sacramento Express
San Francisco Rush
San Diego Breakers
Ohio Aviators
Sacramento Express
San Francisco Rush
San Diego Breakers
Ohio Aviators
Each team name reflects something about the city or state it represents. For Sacramento it's their rail history or the terminus of the Pony Express. For San Francisco it's all about the Gold Rush of 1849. The Breakers deals with the ocean and the Aviators is a reference to the Wright brothers, who were from Ohio. The Stampede is a western theme for Colorado.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
