Boys HS Club Rugby Rankings Week 15

Watch out for those Aspetuck guys. Alex Goff photo.

Not a lot of changes up at the top as everyone did pretty much as expected, but we have a lot of changed further down.

We can't really map out all of them for you, but Richmond's win over Charlotte had to move them up, but we also have to face facts about the Tigers and they are younger and less experienced than last year, and they've lost to a bunch of teams. It's fine, they will bounce back, but certainly our Top 10 listing for them at the beginning of the year was unfair for them. 

Everyone who got bumped up significantly for beating the Tigers settles down a bit. We looked a little more closely at Genesis and saw that their results have been solid, both wins and losses. 

The new teams in the ranking are Avon out of Indiana, Warrior out of Ohio, and two teams from Minnesota. Eagan and Edina tied in a scrummage and then won big in the opening weekend, so we decided to be a bit conservative and put them both in at #50. This allows us to squeeze a 51st team into the rankings. It's tough, because we expect to bring in a team from Wisconsin, and maybe another from Maryland and from Utah soon ... there's kind of no room for any of them.
