GRR: College Men
This is the beginning of the Men's D2 college season.
Several of the teams in this division have played a couple of warmup games, but this week is when conference play gets going. Let's take a look.
The big and imposing Rugby East opens up season this weekend and we get to see the beginning of what could be the best conference in collegiate rugby.
National Collegiate Rugby has confirmed that it will hold its 2022 Men's and Women's Championships in Houston, Texas in December.
Once again Aveva Stadium, the home of Major League Rugby’s Houston SaberCats, will host the championship weekends.
The Liberty Conference enters a bit of a new phase with a two-tiered competition and perhaps we will see some teams put their hands up as being potentially a Tier 1 even if they're now in Tier 2.
It will be a bit of a struggle as the division is partly based on school support, with the Tier 2 really being a Tier 2 Club. But it's possible.
One of the key things to remember in the early going on rankings is that teams can move very dramatically on admittedly flimsy evidence.
