The field of teams for the 2026 Boys HS Rugby National Championships has been finalized.
April 25 brought the final play-in match with Thunder capping off a strong regular season by beating Belmont Shore. They had already defeated SOC Raptors and so take the 2nd spot out of SoCal, with league-leaders (and defending national club champs) San Diego Mustangs back already.
