The regional all-star tournaments are now done, and perhaps the biggest thing to come out of them is how many scouts, coaches, and organizers have expressed how impressed they have been with the boys JV level of play.

This extends down to the Middle School level, and our own observations bear that out - the young players have a more solid grounding in rugby skills. This is a direct result of leagues and coaches emphasizing youth play and finding fulfillment in coaching very young players.

We might look into ranking Middle School select sides this summer. Give us time. But here are the final top 15 for both Boys Varsity and Boys Junior Varsity.
