Congratulations to Nate

After taking his team to the Championship Final for the first time in four seasons, San Diego Legion stalwart Nate Augspurger, is Major League Rugby’s Back of the Year in 2023. Throughout the season, the 33-year-old was a constant threat to Danny Lee’s team and drove his team forward thanks to his elusive running and a decade’s experience in elite rugby. “It’s an honor to be recognized as the Back of the Year,” Augspurger said. “These awards feel fleeting because there are so many quality performers throughout the entire season, so to have my name filled in as the ‘winner’ is humbling.
