Top-Ten Clash Highlights DIAA Games This Weekend
Top-Ten Clash Highlights DIAA Games This Weekend

This is a huge weekend in DIA and DIAA college rugby with most of the active conferences getting underway, if they haven't already.
Some relatively idle teams with rankings aspirations, such as James Madison, Brown, Salisbury, and Arkansas have games this weekend.
Here's the list. Watch out for: Louisville vs Cincinnati, Kennesaw State vs South Carolina, Rowan vs Temple, and Lindenwood-Belleville vs Arkansas. KSU vs USC isn't even the biggest game in the conference, however, as #8 Kentucky takes on #10 Alabama. Arkansas gets its first chance to get a rankings game and will, if they don't get slammed, probably get into the top 40 after the game.
