This week's list of games in Men's D1 college rugby is really interesting with several having ramifications for conferences, playoffs, and rankings too.
Games to circle this week in Men's D2 College:
Rio Grande at IUP. The IUP Hawks have been #1 in GRR's rankings until very recently, and are still #2. Now they face a school-supported team and perhaps their toughest test so far.
In one of the most thrilling and exciting college rugby games in recent memory, Notre Dame College scored on the final play of the game and freshman flyhalf Lachy McDonald slotted the touchline conversion to secure a 40-39 victory for the Falcons over Kutztown University.
