Hot weather is predicted for this week in Kansas City, and as a result organizers of the Boys HS Rugby National Championships have changed the schedule.

There will be no matches held between 12:30pm and 5:00pm, which is expected to be the hottest part of the day.

For some brackets, there's been little change, but the HS Club Tier 1 has now moved to playing in the evening.

As always, player safety is key and this is an important move to ensure players don't suffer adverse heat reactions.

Here's the new schedule:
