GRR: 7s
United swept the field Saturday in the opening weekend of Utah Youth Rugby's fall 7s.
The United boys team was dominant, winning three games by shutout. Their only close one was against Brighton/Copper Hills at 19-14, but that was the last game of the day and United was already 3-0 and Brighton/Copper Hills was already 0-3. Mountain Ridge did well to finish the day 3-1.
It's tightening up at the top of the Rugby Idaho Girls 7s series after this slate of midweek games.
Rocky Mountain Black swept Monday's JV games with two shutouts, including a startling 17-0 defeat of Mountain View, which had entered the day ranked #1. Rocky Mountain Purple, meanwhile struggled a little, just barely edging out Eagle HS 7-5, and then losing to Mountain View 22-7.
After some feedback from clubs, Utah Youth Rugby has delayed its Fall HS 7s series by two weeks.
The delay is less about COVID-19 concerns—at least in a direct way—than it is about USA Rugby's new membership platform and about the needed delays in saying the season was a go.
Yesterday's Rugby Idaho Girls JV 7s tournament was called off and today's Varsity tournament may still be in doubt.
Rugby Pennsylvania is inching closer to having a fall 7s season, and has in fact scheduled a championship even as regions aren't quite advanced to full-contact play just yet.
