It’s a big weekend in South Carolina HS rugby as South Greenville takes on Chapin in a game that will decide who wins the Midlands Division, and in the Coast Division, School of the Arts and Bishop England clash to see who finishes 2nd.

Logan and Donovan Ronan compete in everything - they wrestle, they fight, they race, they see who can eat the most - they compete in everything, except one thing - rugby.

We shook things about a little bit in this week's HS Club Rankings. Weston, beating Naples soundly, moves way up. West Shore, Kingwood, LA, Santa Monica, and Peninsula Green all beat ranked teams. Hopkins beat a team we were expecting to rank, so they jump in at 19. We shuffled some California and North Carolina teams around.
The Hampton Rugby Club plays in the little-noticed Peninsula conference in Rugby Virginia.
Overlooked thanks to more established teams such as West End and Fort Hunt in the North, and other heavy-hitters from DC and North Carolina, Hampton has just been steadily chugging along - perhaps we should say dominating.
We here at Goff Rugby Report do our very best, and once in a while that’s good enough, and once in a while we make mistakes, and once in a while, we make a huge mistake.
This week, we talk about a huge mistake, and try to make it right.
