Lake Travis meets up with Jesuit-Dallas Friday night in a marquee clash for Rugby Texas this weekend.
Both teams have high aspirations in the league, but Jesuit had a bit of a hiccup two weeks ago when they tied Allen. Allen went on to beat the Dallas Harlequins Colts, and given that Jesuit's other win was by two points, it's plain that the DFW Division in the Rugby Texas is going to be a dogfight.
For Lake Travis, their first two games were dominant victories, so this will be a good test for them. Carson Pepe is an accomplished football player who is reportedly going to attend Cal to play rugby. Given his form of late, it seems like a smart move for Cal. Dylan Briscoe has moved from scrumhalf to flyhalf and done so smoothly. Drake David, Gabe Escalante, and Jackson Robertson have also all been playing well for Lake Travis.
The Quins Colts are 1-1 and are looking like they have something. Well, they can prove it against Westlake, the defending champs who, after a couple of pre-season losses, are 2-0 in the league. This will be an important matchup for both teams.
The Woodlands, also, has run out to a 2-0 start, and also beat Westlake (preseason) and Katy. So they are on top of things and get a good test this weekend as touring Welsh team Aberdare comes to town.
Also this weekend, Plano takes on Four Points, Allen hosts Rock Rugby, Lamar plays Cy Fair, and Kingwood is at Katy. St. Thomas plays Memorial.
