Liberty Rugby Conference (LRC)

The Liberty Rugby Conference (LRC) is a collegiate men’s rugby union league that brings together universities primarily from the northeastern United States, including schools in Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

Who Can Make a Move in NCR D1?

Nine games feature in NCR DI, and we might find out a bit more about who could challenge for a title.

ARC

Walsh is GRR's #1-ranked team at the moment, and kept that ranking thanks to a 20-14 win over St. Bonaventure in which they got a little bit of luck. But then again, we have talked about how great it is that the games are close in the ARC.

Are We Seeing Contenders in D2 Already?

Who can contend for a NCR D2 title?

The playoffs normally bring in almost two-dozen teams into the playoffs but we're looking at who might go deep.

As always we're looking at the Great Midwest, but the NACR, Southern, and MARC also are worthy of examination, and the shifts in the Allegheny and Lonestar mean strong teams are coming from every where.
