GRR: UBC
The idea that the USA and Canada should cooperate in developing high-level rugby extends past the national teams, and certainly has a place in the collegiate game; witness then this past weekend's clash between Canadian champions UBC and USA runners-up (spring 2022) Saint Mary's.
The British Columbia-California collegiate rivalry enters a bit of a new chapter with UBC at Saint Mary's this weekend.
Only one college rugby game this weekend but it is the kickoff for the New Year.
As we look ahead to this weekend in D1A rugby, it's kind of a rare thing at this time of year to see Cal idle.
Cal held off a comeback from University of British Columbia to win the first leg of the teams' annual two-game series.
This is the 99th year of the rivalry, and Cal ended up with a pretty impressive 36-21 lead going into the second game.
