Jesuit HS in Sacramento had all they could handle this weekend after they took on CK McClatchy in a non-standings NorCal Premier matchup.
McClatchy is in the 2nd group of Premier teams, and Jesuit in the 1st, so this crossover game didn't count in the standings, but it certainly mattered to both teams regardless.
Big changes are afoot in the Midwest leagues, as both Rugby Indiana and Rugby Illinois have made some adjustments.

The Charlotte Tigers was already 3-0 before the team hosted their first home game.
The Tigers won three Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL) games on the road, and so there was some buzz as the team hosted the North Meck Vikings Saturday night in the North Carolina league opener.
Four teams are now left in the Southern California Varsity White division after they won their quarterfinal games this weekend.
