GRR: CRC 7s
Well, now, there’s this interesting matter of the CRC Men’s 7s invitational.
This year, the tournament, which will run all day Saturday and Sunday, is about as competitive as it has ever been, with even the so-called also-rans having shown themselves to be able to play.
Here’s how we see the pools shaping up:
The Collegiate Rugby Championship college 7s invitational has settled on its pools for the June 4-5 tournament in Chester, Pa.
We’re in the middle of the college 15s season, of course, but we’re also in the middle of figuring out who will be pushing for a major college 7s championship.
The University of Utah has qualified for the CRC 7s after beating Notre Dame College in a close, and somewhat controversial final in the LVI at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Utah made the final by denying the dangerous AIC team any meaningful possession, and the Utes did the same against a fast and well-structured Notre Dame College team.
The University of Utah pulled off something of an upset, beating AIC in the semifinals of the LVI's CRC Qualifier to make the final in the stadium later today.
The Utes starved AIC of possession brilliantly and won 12-5.
