GRR: College Men
Albuquerque, NM – The University of New Mexico Men’s Rugby Football Club (UNM) will host the Indigenous Australian Invitational Rugby (IAIR) U20 team for a first ever match between both teams on November 9th, 2015 at 6:00pm.
LSU has taken a slow return to competitive rugby but faces a stiff test this coming weekend.
After a rough fall of 2014 when the program was suspended for an infraction at a post-match social, the Tigers are back on the field in good standing, and looking ahead to the Red River Conference season.
The Keystone Conference has gone pretty much according to the form sheet with only one or two little hiccups this season, and now with the playoffs coming a few potential upsets rear their heads.
Eight of the ten Keystone teams are in the quarterfinals, and while the top two from each division would have to be favored, this is a perfect time for someone to slip up.
A couple of notable results were recorded over the past weekend, as two teams that have not won much at all this fall found themselves in the W column.
St. Bonaventure, 1-5 in the Rugby East, defeated #16 Notre Dame College 34-29. Buffalo, 0-6 in Rugby East, faced a longtime rival in Brockport, and won big, 101-17.
The Northern Lights conference seems like such a foregone conclusion that USA Rugby and Goff Rugby Report both made the same mistake, penciling in Minnesota-Duluth as the conference champion before the conference playoffs.
