GRR: 7s
The Southern Rugby Conference is kicking off its spring 7s season early with the Furman University Invitational.
The Big Ten Universities Rugby Conference has admitted Penn State to its Spring 7s competition.
This is a big move for Big Ten University Rugby as it helped elevate the standard of competition with addition of one of the top programs in the country.
The LA Invitational is shaping up quickly as the festival tournament held in conjunction with the LA 7s returns for a second year after a one-year hiatus due to COVID.
The LAI will be held March 4-5, with March 4 at the Great Orange Park in Irvine, Calif., and March 5 at the Dignity Health Sports Park fields.
Premier Rugby Sevens, the US-based pro 7s tour, will be expanding in 2022 with between four and six tournaments expected for the summer of next year.
The venues have not been finalized, but a profile of what kind of host city and venue is starting to come together.
Last month 24 players were recognized as the best of the Colorado Interscholastic Rugby Association (CIRA) by the coaches and invited to play in the Colorado State All-Star 7s game.
