GRR: California
As we look ahead to this weekend in D1A rugby, it's kind of a rare thing at this time of year to see Cal idle.
Despite the fact that three teams had to bow out due to COVID issues, the college bracket of the Dennis Storer Classic went off nicely and Cal was, once again, crowned as champion.
Cal looked quite well drilled as the Bears went 3-0 on the weekend, beating UC Santa Cruz and Cal Poly on Saturday and UCLA on Sunday, scoring 100 points over three games and allowing only 11.
College action is mostly about tournaments this week as the winter-spring season kicks off in earnest.
For the eighth time in nine tournaments, the Cal Golden Bears have won the PAC Rugby 7s tournament, beating UCLA in the final 10-0.
It was a competitive tournament, and UCLA certainly produced a strong defensive performance in the championship match. Cal needed that shutout to get out of there.
Cal and UCLA went 3-0 Saturday in the PAC Rugby 7s Saturday.
