GRR: University of Arizona
Beware a good college rugby team that hasn't been able to play; really beware an excellent rugby team that hasn't played in a while.
Cal visited the state of Arizona this weekend and defeated University of Arizona 94-10 and two days late dismissed Grand Canyon University 84-0.
Grand Canyon and University of Arizona tied 28-28 Saturday evening in a game that did much to help build the rivalry between the two Arizona colleges.
The game was pretty dramatic to start with, but was almost more so as Ethan Van Tonder's 48-meter penalty kick drifted wide as time wound down.
Arizona beat UCLA 39-36 in a barnburner of a PAC Rugby Conference opener Saturday in Tucson.
The University of Arizona rugby program is looking to hire a Head Coach for the Women's Rugby program to start in the 2021-2022 season.
The new coach will work with the Director of Rugby to grow the program and includes a stipend.
Men's college rugby is still going, although the number of games is dwindling—at least we have two major matchups to brighten up the weekend.
Editor's note—after we posted this story, the Lindenwood vs Army game was canceled due to some positive COVID tests at Lindenwood.
