It's touring time and a number of teams have opted for a trip overseas during their spring break.
One such team is ranite Bay out of Northern California, which is touring Scotland with Irish Rugby Tours (yes, IRT takes teams to places other than Ireland).
Their competition includes a pretty special day of rugby on Friday which is essentially Senior Day for Strathendrick RFC near Glasgow.
They will celebrate their 2026 Leavers with a double-header including Granite Bay and West of Scotland FC.
They are calling it the Thistle and Eagle Tri Series.
That's just the sort of unforgettable rugby experience teams can get through Irish Rugby Tours.
The group has already played a match and toured Murrayfield.
