Saint Mary's took it to Cal Saturday, beating their Northern California rivals 32-14 Saturday in the second game either of these two teams have played since March of 2020.
The Gaels were able to bring back a couple of players who didn't play in last week's win over Central Washington, and despite having trouble in the lineout just found more space to exploit.
Just as some college rugby teams are getting back into competition, others are slowing down their activity.
We took a week off from the Men's College rankings as last week everything kind of went as expected and we had no changes.
But this week, what with 18 teams in action we have much, much more data.
Saint Mary's opened up their season after more than a year away from competition, and beat a very strong Central Washington team 38-17 in Moraga, Saturday.
The Gaels ran out to a 26-0 lead, playing their characteristic wide open game. Wing Jonathan Hackett, wing Aiden Howe, fullback Erich Storti, and Howe again went over, with scrumhalf Karl Keane getting three conversions.
Berkeley, Calif. – In the first meeting of these two highly-regarded collegiate rugby programs since the 2016 Varsity Cup final, Cal defeated BYU 37-28 Saturday at Cal's Witter Rugby Field.
This was the first rugby game for Cal in almost 400 days, while BYU was coming off a tie with Central Washington and a defeat of Utah State.
