GRR: Rugby Washington
The world has lost a steward of rugby.
Rugby Washington, the State Governing Body for youth and HS rugby in the Evergreen State, is in trouble.
A complaint has been filed with the state Attorney General’s office alleging that Rugby Washington failed to provide services that member teams paid for. Goff Rugby Report has obtained documents providing information on the complaint and additional issues within Rugby Washington.
The state of Washington has pushed almost all high school sports back to the New Year, which will likely have a profound effect on high school rugby participation in 2021.
The Washington Loggers State Boys and Girls Rep-Side competed in the Vancouver Sevens Invitational (VSI) held as part of the Vancouver 7s, this past weekend, coming away with some hardware.
The VSI was held at the purpose-built Gerald McGavin UBC Rugby Centre, preceding the HSBC World Series 7s event.
The Boys U16s finishing 3rd.
