USA Rugby has issued an official statement with regard to how it handled the investigation and citing of the events leading up to the injury of Robert Paylor.
Paylor was a standout rugby player for Jesuit of Sacramento and then Cal.
The idea that college rugby conferences should follow college sports conferences in other sports isn't new, nor should it be followed universally, but it does have merit in specific areas.
BERKELEY, Calif. – On May 6, 2017, Robert Paylor suffered a severe spinal cord injury in Santa Clara during the Varsity Cup rugby collegiate national championship game against Arkansas State.
Cal Head Coach Jack Clark had a pretty good team this year and might have ended the year national champion, but all of that is moot as the COVID-19 shutdown has put more important things on the front-burner.
In a hugely physical clash between top-10 D1A teams, Saint Mary's pulled away from Navy to beat the Midshipmen 43-25 Saturday at Cal's Witter field.
On a day when two military academies were in action in Berkeley, with Army playing Cal, players and teams had a unique opportunity to test themselves.
