Southern Rugby Conference

Since being established in 2011, the Southern Rugby Conference has consistently produced nationally-ranked programs (Top 25 in the nation). UNC-W and Furman University have both participated in the 15's Sweet 16 since joining the conference. The Citadel won the 2016 SRC 7's Championship to join the elite teams in the DII National 7's Tournament accompanied by UNC-W who were our conference runner-ups in 7's and 15's Champions. 

In 2016 the SRC had three teams in the RugbyToday National Rankings.

Furman Ranked #1. Here's Why

Furman is ranked #1 in the latest GRR Men's D2 College Rankings and there's a good reason for that.

The Paladins have started strong and accomplished one of the things the rankings look for—beating a competitive team in a convincing manner. This past weekend's 48-10 result over Appalachian State is the latest example.
