Another big name acquired by Old Glory as they have brought in Scottish international Mungo Mason. This move will most surely beef up the depth in the back row as it gives the club another quality option. The biggest question here will be how they will use him.
Mason tried his shot at Major League Rugby before as he played for the San Diego Legion during the 2018 preseason, but was unable to secure a visa. He had been playing for top rugby club Chicago Lions while studying at Chicago-Kent College to get his law degree. He also has played for the Scotland national 7s team and also played for Edinburgh in the Pro 14.
Mason plays mostly as an openside flanker, so it will be interesting to see how the team juggles him with the other players in the back row as to whether he will start or be named as a replacement, but either way, he will play on game days. While it might be seen that there was already enough depth in the back row, it never hurts to beef it up more with more quality options especially with the possibility of injuries. That being said, this is just another signing that shows how serious they are about putting a winner out of the field in 2020.
