GRR: Kansas Jayhawks
The Kansas Jayhawks men's collegiate rugby team is in tour in Australia and having a blast.
They have visited Sydney, including the famous Sydney Opera House, and the New South Wales Rugby Union HQ in Daceyville, NSW.
Kansas State's shutout win over Arkansas put many in the Heart of America on notice but a week late KSU got a notice of their own after Kansas beat them 34-12.
For the Jayhawks, this was a fairly important showing because KSU had already shown themselves to be a force to be reckoned with.
The Kansas Jayhawks will be in the final of the ACR DIAA spring championships after winning the Eastern Bracket final on Sunday.
Kansas, Texas State Move on in DIAA Playoffs
Kansas led 17-7 at halftime, and through a scoreless second half that lead held up.
Texas State and Kansas will play for a place in the ACR DIAA final after both won games in the Eastern Bracket quarterfinals Saturday.
Both quarterfinals were tight, but it did seem like the fact that the Lonestar teams had played conference games more recently might have set them up a little better.
The Eastern Bracket of the DIAA playoffs is set for this weekend with four somewhat eastern teams in action.
Heart of American champs Kansas take on UT San Antonio, and Lonestar Conference champs Texas State take on Minnesota in Lawrence, Kans.
