GRR: NCR D1
We don't have a ton of moves this week but one or two are consequential.
Leading the weekend's top-level men's college activities has to be Army at Navy.
Calling this fixture a heated rivalry is a gross understatement. These two institutions go after each other with an intensity you rarely see in every sport. Rugby is perfect suited for the clash and the games are, generally, very close, physically demanding, and watched closely.
Already we have a shakeup in the Big Rivers NCR D1 conference and we've only had one game.
OK, two games, but one doesn't count for the conference standings. We can talk about that one first:
LIberty's NCR D1 league continues to be an intriguing conference as some teams found out this week.

Both teams have suffered from injuries but that didn't mean they would be hesitant to get stuck in.
Over 40 men's D1-level college games are on the slate this week.
