This week the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawks rugby team got to practice on the school’s football stadium field. That was nice for a number of reasons, not least of which was that the turf field was cleared of snow, making things a little easier in chilly Wisconsin. It was also a nice indication of the respect the program has earned.

Perhaps somewhat lost in the shuffle of the fall 7s tournaments on the West Coast was the solid play of Cal Poly. They pushed several more highly-regarded teams throughout the fall.
