DIA Rugby News
After a week where we had one college game, here's a look at a slightly busier slate for this week.
UCSB kicks off their conference season at Stanford in the California D1AA conference; Saint Mary's continues their season with a game against the SFGG club; Central Washington opens up their season with a club opponent, as well, Seattle in this case.
In this weekend’s installment of “be careful what you wish for” Saint Mary’s makes the trip to Phoenix to play Grand Canyon University in the first weekend of January.
In amongst all the playoff rugby and bowl games, UCLA played a little match against Oxford University last week.
The Bruins welcomed Oxford University on the Blues’ tour of the USA. The tour also included MLR team XVs, but the marquee game (for us at GR World Headquarters at least) was against UCLA.
After reflecting on the past weekend in college rugby, we at GRR World Headquarters got down to looking at college conferences.
The Bowl Games at the CRAA Fall Classic showcased a distinct difference between the winners and losers.
The teams that had avoided injuries, had encountered tougher competition, and had more athletes at key spots came away victorious.
