GRR: Rugby Washington
Here is a rundown of Boys HS rugby games this weekend.
Check back here for scores and updates. Already we have a few scores and links to some previews and reports.
It’s a tight but somewhat surprising race for the top in Rugby Washington after the third week of games.
We're just two weeks into the Rugby Washington Boys DI league, and already we've got some interesting developments.
The first development is that recently-promoted Rainier Highlanders, who won the D2 competition last year, now sit 2-0 after beating Kent 40-19.
Liberty opened the Rugby Washington HS season with a 15-10 defeat of Budd Bay at Budd Bay.
For Liberty, it was a gratifying win, albeit one that came about eight months too late.
Liberty was 10-2 in Rugby Washington league and playoff competition, but those two losses - one in the regular season and one in the state final - came against Budd Bay.
In another rain-soaked game, the San Diego Mustangs shut out the Eastside Lions of Washington state 19-0 in the second win of their two-game tour.
The Mustangs got starting scrumhalf James Downey back and his experience and ball handling showed an immediate improvement throughout the backline.
