Playing Rugby in San Francisco from New Zealand: Requirements & Support

Question
Hi I was just wondering what ya have to do to play in the San fran comp and what's required and do the clubs help with finding jobs and accommdation and visas and  if so what's the best way to go about it

Answer
G'day Jason,

I can't speak for SF, as I am in Orange County California (about 45 minutes south of LA). As a club we offer assistance with getting a job, place to live and transport.

Rugby is super amateur here like rugby in NZ in the '60's. Getting Visas etc is impossible unless you actually have a high end degree or work type that lends itself to a business sponsoring you.

Really it's best to treat it like a big OE and a bit of fun.
