Men’s Division 1AA (D1AA) represents a highly competitive tier of collegiate rugby in the United States, featuring programs governed by both National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) and the College Rugby Association of America (CRAA). It serves as a bridge between elite Division I play and developing Division II or Small College levels, offering strong regional competition and a pathway to national championships under each organization’s structure. While NCR and CRAA operate independently, both use the D1AA designation for schools with established programs that may not have the depth or resources of top-tier D1A teams.
Top DIAA Players of the Fall: Loose Forward
Loose forwards are next in our list for the top DIAA players of the fall.
Whether they are openside flankers, blindside flankers, or No. 8s, we lump them all together, often because many of these players suit up in all of those positions.
We have 43 players in this list.
Top DIAA Players of the Fall: Flyhalf and Scrumhalf
Now we're at halfback with scrumhalf and flyhalf.
This is an important category—OK all of them are important—in that in the USA we're still working on getting US-raised flyhalves and scrumhalves. Maybe three or four of these will be in that pathway.
We have 14 #9s and 18 #10s in this list.
Top DIAA Players of the Fall: Center
Today we end January with our top DIAA Centers of the fall of 2022.

We have scoured through conferences and regions and teams and various reports and opinions, including our own, to give you our list of the best players by position.
This time we're going in reverse order of the way we did it for the D2 players.
So we're starting with wing and fullback.
