Explosive First Half Sees Saint Mary's Past Wildcats

In a much-anticipated matchup that didn't deliver the drama fans had hoped for, Saint Mary's defeated Arizona 68-15 Saturday in Moraga, Calif.

What Saint Mary's has is a group of players who play wide-open rugby with confidence and daring. They combine that with a group of leaders who keep everyone calm. The result is a quick and lethal early strike and tries.

Restart Success Leads USA U18 Boys Performance

Every now and then a USA age-grade team puts in a performance and you get the feeling that, hey, maybe we’re not crazy.

Of late the USA U20 and U18 teams on the men/boys and women/girls sides have both had their moments, and certainly for the U18 boys, the Global Youth 7s was one of those moments.
