	Program making a pitch for rugby - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		Rugby isn't commonly associated with benefit events for a region where football is king, but thanks to programs for at-risk youth, the sport is gaining popularity in the Pittsburgh area.
		Five years ago, the Pittsburgh Harlequins Rugby Football Association used a $50,000 grant and $38,000 raised from association members to build a pair of full-sized rugby pitches in Indiana Township.

		The association is affiliated with, but distinct from, the Pittsburgh Harlequins Rugby Club, which fields one of the top 50 rugby teams in the United States.
		The Harlequins were able to take advantage of a social support system already in place, using facilities and counselors from private and public social service agencies.
		But in rugby, being short or slender is not nearly the handicap that it is in basketball or football, because there is a place in the sport for a 5-foot-4 hooker or a 145-pound wing.

		The visiting Irish Canadians were quickly put under pressure by the Quins backline attack and solid defence - a combination that saw the Irish held in their own end for most of the first half.
		The Irish defence seemed worthy until late in the first half when Luke made a third phase break through in the centres and Jordan Kozina followed in support that saw him put down under the posts for a 8-0 Harlequins lead, which was easily converted by Luke for a 10-0 halftime score.
		The Irish responded early in the second half using their strength and size in the forwards to trail off rucks and maul possession - however steady flat line and committed defence from the home team seemed to stifle the visitors at every turn.

		Across great swathes of the English union landscape, from Penzance to Newcastle and back again, they are laughing still, the snap and crack of sides splitting asunder drowning out the wailing and gnashing of teeth emerging from the bowels of the sporting mausoleum know as the Stoop Memorial Ground.
		Harlequins, the team of Will Carling and Brian Moore " of city slickers and daft pastel shirts, of swanky cup runs and sports-car rugby " are down amongst the Otleys and Sedgeley Parks, having spent most of the season conspiring to keep themselves up under false pretences.
		Within minutes of the final whistle, seasoned Quins-watchers were suggesting that the Premiership might yet be expanded to re- accommodate the relegated Londoners, that a deal with the Rugby Football Union was being thrashed out, that the club chairman, Charles Jillings, was 'working on it'.
