DIA Rugby News
We talk about the opening of the Florida Conference, and that's an almost non-stop run for that group.
Many other conference mix in some non-conference games, but we do have a California Conference game between Cal Poly and Saint Mary's. While the Gaels are favored, this is a continually improving Cal Poly side so let's see how much of an improvement.
The idea that the USA and Canada should cooperate in developing high-level rugby extends past the national teams, and certainly has a place in the collegiate game; witness then this past weekend's clash between Canadian champions UBC and USA runners-up (spring 2022) Saint Mary's.
Saint Mary's opened the New Year for pretty much everyone in US college rugby with a 45-10 defeat of Trinity Western.
The British Columbia-based Spartans made the most of their trip to California, even holding their jersey presentation at Alcatraz.
Texas A&M Men's Rugby is launching a search for a new Head Coach and additional coaches to start in the fall.
The search is prompted because current Head Coach James Lowrey will be leaving College Station for new professional challenges once the current season is over.
Only one college rugby game this weekend but it is the kickoff for the New Year.
