GRR: NCR
St. Bonaventure won an all-Catholic clash this weekend with a 45-27 defeat of Mount St. Mary's.
It was a good early result for Bonnies as the Mount is strong this year.
In the program's first collegiate rugby game, Adrian College out of Michigan defeated the University of Michigan on a balmy Friday night.
National Collegiate Rugby has put out its preseason Men's D1 College power rankings.
This, of course, is a guess given that many teams haven't played much rugby at all since the fall of 2019. However, the committee of voters (GRR is not involved in this) have done their best to list the top 10 D1 NCR teams.
Here goes:
National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) has named 107 student athletes as 2020-21 Scholastic All Americans.
The 2020-21 group represents NCR’s inaugural naming of Scholastic All Americans. The program will become an annual recognition of NCR’s high performing student athletes, and is expected to grow as rugby clubs return to a normal schedule in 2021-22.
The question of what to do when some college rugby teams are part of National Collegiate Rugby and some are part of USA Rugby-aligned groups like the ACR has been brought into sharp relief in the NCRC.
