GRR: BYU
Saint Mary's defeated BYU 22-19 in a thriller of a game played at the Saint Mary's ground in Moraga, Calif.
The game was back-and-forth and at times each of the teams seemed to be in control, but that control was all too fleeting.
BYU is set to take on Saint Mary's in Moraga at 1PM PT today.
As has been the case all season, getting games ready to go on the West Coast has been difficult. But late Friday the OK was given and the game is on.
Kickoff, as we said, it 1PM Pacific Time. The game can be seen here:
Berkeley, Calif. – In the first meeting of these two highly-regarded collegiate rugby programs since the 2016 Varsity Cup final, Cal defeated BYU 37-28 Saturday at Cal's Witter Rugby Field.
This was the first rugby game for Cal in almost 400 days, while BYU was coming off a tie with Central Washington and a defeat of Utah State.
Don't look now, but there's a bear coming up behind you.
It's big and golden and it has teeth and claws and it's probably very hungry.
Another couple of teams step into the fray in college rugby as the University of Arizona gets set to play Grand Canyon this weekend.
College rugby games are still few and far between as breaking out of COVID shutdowns and keeping everyone free from positive tests has been very difficult.
