The Chicago Lions Rugby organization, established in 1964, has hired Mark Santiago as their new Director of Youth Rugby and Women’s 15s Head Coach.
It will be interesting to see the NIRA teams lists, and we have some of them.
This week we see Queens University Charlotte women load up, and the University of Tennessee men.
The Valley Rams won the Rugby Oregon Boys HS 7s with two wins in the championship tournament to cap off an 11-0 season.
The Rams went into the weekend 9-0 but still had to win out in the final event at Glenhaven Park in Portland. And with some lineup changes on some teams they could easily have slipped up.
Cocorico Sevens featured teams from three different states, as well as the District of Columbia this past weekend. Minutemen Sevens rampaged through their pool, and ran a quality Howard County Hurricanes side in the final 52-0 to take it all.
The Vienna HS rugby program won the boys championship in the Virginia State Championships, taking the title in both Varsity and Middle School divisions.
Vienna beat West End in the semifinals and Richmond Strikers in the final.
