GRR: San Diego State
One of the games to watch this weekend in college rugby is one you might not have expected to worry about way back in November.
Cal State Long Beach plays San Diego State on Saturday and both teams lost, and lost big, in the opening weeks of conference play. And, yes, they were playing the likes of Saint Mary's and Cal Poly, but, in a way, that was the point.
Former USA 15s and 7s Eagle Ryan Matyas has signed on to be Head Coach at San Diego State.
University of San Diego plays San Diego State Saturday in the first annual Founders Cup meeting between the two.
The game is played to honor the founders and alumni of both programs. With San Diego State Rugby founded in 1958 and USD Rugby founded in 1980 they have plenty of those alumni. This is a nice challenge trophy to kick-start the season for the teams.
Chris Lippert was something of a trailblazer for the USA team.
Plucked out of almost obscurity into the US national 7s team, Stephen Tomasin may have been a little lucky, but he turned that sliver of good fortune into an impressive career with the Eagles.
