GRR: PAC Rugby Conference
Utah visits Arizona State this weekend in PAC Rugby Conference play, and the Utes will hope the travel will be kinder than it was last week, when they had to call off a trip to St. Mary’s.
Certainly the intriguing but unfinished Utah squad would have wanted the stern test against the Gaels before facing the Sun Devils, but snow blocked their bus, and that was that.

But Utah came back in the second half, getting back to their attacking pattern.
