USA Rugby are very interested in holding discussions over adding an East Coast-based team to the Guinness PRO12.Philip Browne, the Irish Rugby Football Union CEO, said last week that the PRO12 are considering a plan to expand the league into the U.S., as they seek to increase its revenue to keep up with the Aviva Premiership and Top 14.Bob Latham, USA Rugbys chairman, says various obstacles will have to be overcome if the dream ever comes to fruition, but is keen to look into the possibility of an American franchise joining the PRO12.Were certainly very interested but we need to take a realistic look at the feasibility of it and we havent crossed that fundamental step yet, Latham told ESPN. Those discussions are at a very early stage but we would certainly look at that and see if it makes sense.When we receive interest of that kind it is somewhat flattering that people want to enter the market here and we are interested in taking a look at anything that grows and encourages interest in the sport.The Premiership have already staged a match in the U.S. when London Irish hosted Saracens last season in New York while the All Blacks played the Eagles in Chicago back in 2014. Latham believes the East Coast would be the natural fit for a potential franchise but there are a variety of factors to take into consideration.Im not sure if we have any preconceived notions over how best to make it happen, Latham said. There will be travel issues so the East Coast makes sense but if you look at the timing of the PRO12 competition, it can be difficult to play in the North East part of the USA at that time of year.We have to balance the factor of where fans will turn out, where the weather will be conducive, where theres a likely fan base as well as the travel issues.Away from the PRO12 discussions, one issue which is high up on the list of priorities for World Rugby is how the sports calendar works after 2019. At present there are no international fixtures scheduled after the next World Cup and discussions are underway to determine how best the north and southern hemisphere seasons can work with some governing bodies favouring a greater harmonisation between the calendars.Latham, who sits on the World Rugby council, hopes a truly global season will be established where both north and south calendars are aligned.From where I sit with World Rugby, its a priority and something we are spending a lot of time trying to see if it can be achieved, Latham said. Its really important for USA Rugby and other tier-two unions.In some ways were cut out of parts of the calendar and from a player welfare standpoint its vitally important. You dont want people playing 48 or 49 weekends a year.There will be competing interests in the global game but it would solve a lot of issues that we deal with: competitive matches for tier two nations, the balance between club and international rugby and player welfare issues.That can all be addressed by a global calendar that works for everybody.

After claiming his third pole in five races for Sundays Spanish GP, the Mercedes driver launched a robust defence of his form after suggestions from some quarters of the media that he may have allowed his focus to drop since winning a third world title last year.Nico Rosberg has won all four of this seasons opening races, but Hamiltons title defence has been afflicted by a series of reliability problems and first-corner collisions. Conclusions from Spanish GP qualifyingWhen you look at the season so far I had two poles and two [grand prix] where I didnt have a qualifying session because I had two failures, now another pole, and issues have got in the way [at other times], yet people would say Im not focused, Hamilton said. Lewis Hamilton takes pole position for the Spanish GP, edging team mate Nico Rosberg into second Its just a strange conclusion that a grown up would come to because its clearly not the case. Every time Ive been in the car and had the opportunity Ive performed.The first three races I didnt have a full car [after first-corner contact], so I did the best job with what I had and I think the last race [in Russia] was great considering where I came from [10th]. So its very early days to say those kind of things. My performance, Im very, very happy with it and today is another showing of that. I rest my case.Hamilton declined to comment on wild rumours he could even take a year out from F1 in 2017, simply stating: I generally let my results do the talking. Lewis on pole as Bulls shock Lewis Hamilton on pole in Barcelona The Britons results in the opening stages of the Barcelona weekend had suggested he might struggle to beat Rosberg to one of the most crucial poles of the whole season, before he spectacularly turned the situation around mid-way through qualifying.He topped Q2 by 0.6 seconds and then, desppite making an error on his first flying lap in the final stage, beat Rosberg by nearly three tenths of a second to claim his 52nd career pole.ddddddddddddHamilton though reckons a front-row place would have been in jeopardy had mechanics not cured his set-up problems from Friday practice. Lewis Hamilton discusses a difficult 2016 season so far and his F1 future with Sky F1s Martin Brundle When you are doing practice it is about building blocks. Its one step at a time, he explained. P1 you dont want to make too many changes because track temperature is always different when you get to P2. When youre making those changes its like chasing your tail. Then you discover something and the next day its completely different.Youre kind of at a loss - you dont know what foot youre going to be starting on the next day. But I got in the car this morning with a good frame of mind, I know the engineers and mechanics worked hard overnight, and I got in and immediately the car was underneath me, which was a relief.If it hadnt been there is no way Id have been in the position Im in right now. I wouldnt have been on the front row and Id have potentially struggled to be on the second row. So thats a great feeling when you do muddle through the maze and come out the right end.On a track where 19 of the previous 25 races have been won from the front of the grid, Hamilton said pole was the only option to kick-start his attempts to reign in Rosberg.All I know is that its going to be hard work [in the race], he added.
