GRR: California
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.
Cal held off a comeback from University of British Columbia to win the first leg of the teams' annual two-game series.
This is the 99th year of the rivalry, and Cal ended up with a pretty impressive 36-21 lead going into the second game.
