GRR: College All-Stars
In two days the World University Rugby Invitational Tournament kicks off, and there’s an American team in it.
Assembled and overseen by Thomas Clark and coached by Ed Tubridy, the Atlantic Coast All-Stars features a team made up mostly of recently-graduated players with their work most decidedly cut out for them.
The Atlantic Coast All Star team is set for the World University Rugby Invitational Tournament slated for this month in Bordeaux, France.
The Ohio Aviators select program U23s is set to play the Pittsburgh Forge Saturday.
This is the beginning of a summer of activities for the Aviators program which will also have a U19 boys team and has other U23 action planned next month.
Here is the roster for the Ohio Aviators to play the Pittsburgh Forge:
The New England Independents won their second straight NCR All-Star Championship on Sunday, defeating the Pacific Coast Grizzlies 28-0.
The tournament echoes some of the old ways of playing, with top players coming together in regional squads to play each other in what is intended to be a higher-level step to even greater heights.
With news of the 2nd annual NCR All-Star tournament out, teams are looking to comb their regions for players.
The Great Lakes regional all-star team is looking for talented players, perhaps from teams that don't win conferences or make the playoffs, to try out.
Players of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia are eligible to play for the Great Lakes team.
