College competitions within National Collegiate Rugby are expected see a few changes and shifts as the swirling currents of the collegiate game combine and split different clumps of flotsam.
The USA U18s won the Corendon Summer Tour U18 bracket with a 47-20 defeat of Belgium U18s.
The USA U20s beat a tough Netherlands team 31-27 to go 3-0 and win the U20 bracket in Amsterdam. Tia'i Vavao was named MVP of the tournament.
The USA U23s lost to Delta 22-16 in a game that, based on previous scores, would have been expected to be much more lopsided.
The USA U23s, which is largely a college team, but not entirely, will finish up the Corendon Summer tour with Saturday's clash against Delta.
Team Delta is a men's team that competes in the Rugby Europe Super Cup. a semi-professional cross-border competition held in the spring.
The University of Tennessee Men's Rugby program is making some changes and will be hiring a Head Coach for a long-term position this summer.
Longtime Head Coach Marty Bradley is moving up to a Director of Rugby role, in part because the increased time demands of coaching college rugby at a high level makes it difficult for him to cover all the bases as the number of bases increases.
