GRR: College All-Stars
The National Collegiate Rugby-run NCR All American team is on tour in France as part of a nod to the 100th anniversary of the last time the USA won their last Olympic gold medal in rugby.
Of course the USA returns to Paris '24 this year. The NCR All Americans started off impressively, beating the Beglum U23s 36-20 on Sunday in Dunkirk.
Paced by some very strong work in the forwards the Great Lakes Thunderbirds defeated the Midwest Barbarians 34-0 in the final of the NCR Men’s Collegiate All-Stars in Round Rock, Texas to take the championship.
NCR’s men’s collegiate all-star tournament kicks off Saturday with eight teams in competition in the Austin, Texas area.
