GRR: Columns
Men's DII College rugby has barely started but we've got a few thoughts on who's up and who's down.
This is an opinion column by GRR Editor Alex Goff - It was always going to be a disappointing Olympics finish for some men’s rugby 7s teams.
We asked our social media followers what they had to say about the USA efforts at the RIo Olympics. As usual, our readers had many interesting and insightful things to contribute - here is a sample of their comments:
Colin Miller: Nothing against MH, who had a great (if not his best) tournament. I think 2 points could more easily have been made up by taking better care of the pill.
This is an opinion column by Goff Rugby Report editor Alex Goff - Criticism of an Olympic performance is a dicey thing; you have to be aware that being at the Olympics is, for most athletes, a once-in-a-lifetime event, something to be celebrated, and I’m not really all that interested in bringing a player’s pride in representing her nation at Rio down all that far.
Who played the toughest schedule in high school rugby?
We have a look. We looked at how many Top-10, Top-25, and Top-60 opponents teams faced, and produced a points system. In addition, we gave points for tough foreign opposition.
And using this ranking, with a little subjective tie-breaking, we have our list of the teams that work the hardest to challenge themselves.
