GRR: Bryce Campbell
The USA Selects were thumped 62-12 by the Fiji Warriors in the opening round of the Americas Pacific Challenge at Estadio Charrua in Montevideo, Uruguay Saturday.

Fall DI rugby is done and it’s time to select some award-winners; we here at Goff Rugby Report World Headquarters have combed the games and teams to bring you the best, and here they are.

Indiana University defeated Ohio State 34-14 to win the Big Ten Universities Conference Saturday in Rockford, Ill.
The teams battled in a tight contest where Ohio State tried to assert their dominance in the forwards, and Indiana tried burn the Buckeyes on the outside. And this is how the two teams stayed deadlocked, 14-14 at halftime.

IU had been almost untouchable in the tournaments building up to the Big Ten Universities final, and weren’t really touched this past weekend, either.
For IU officer Bryce Campbell, it was business as usual.
