GRR: College Men
College Rugby Association of America has named its D1AA All Americans, picking a 1st team squad of 23 and 15 honorable mentions.
Five players from champions University of San Diego make the 1st team, while Iowa State, Sam Houston State, and Western Washington all had significant representation.
The Washington Athletic Club hosts the WAC Rugby Awards Saturday in Seattle, with Freda Tafuna and Wyatt Parry receiving, respectively, the MA Sorensen and Rudy Scholz Awards in person.
Walsh University has announced its coaching leadership team for its new rugby programs.
We are wrapping up our D1AA rankings today.
It is always really difficult to make direct comparisons between teams that play primarily in the fall and teams that play primarily in the spring. Sam Houston State provides a nice connection between the two, playing as they did bowl games for both NCR and CRAA. Maybe we can have a peace summit at their field some day.
The Kansas Jayhawks men's collegiate rugby team is in tour in Australia and having a blast.
They have visited Sydney, including the famous Sydney Opera House, and the New South Wales Rugby Union HQ in Daceyville, NSW.
