GRR: HS All-Stars
The Great Northwest Challenge 15-a-side HS select-side tournament is back for 2024 and registration is open.
The tournament will be held June 21-22, 2024, with a USA Rugby Talent ID Day scheduled for June 20. Everything will be held in beautiful Fort Missoula Regional Park in Missoula, Montana.
