August-September 1988: Atlantis Trip to Scotland
(Atlantis tournaments #15, 16
and 17)
Emil Signes
Emil's note of 2013: This is the
least documented of all Atlantis' tours. I couldn't go -
there were conflicts with other rugby responsibilities (I was
coaching the US at the time) and, combined, these tours
conflicted with the attendance requirements of my
employer. Mike Brodie took the team as manager, and Joe
Taranto went as player-coach. Overall results known, no
specific result, or even specific opponent, known. As I
recall, there were a couple of nightmare stories about this
tour: all the jerseys stolen at the first tournament, had to
borrow jerseys for the others, etc.
