Marian University took the field for the first time in collegiate rugby competition, taking on Lindenwood's 2nd 15 Saturday in St. Charles.
It was a good, generally well-played rugby game in which Lindenwood's time together and the fact that their 2nd side isn't that much different from their 1st side, saw the Lions win 46-3.
Rugby is returning to colleges around the country, and it’s worth keeping an eye on New Mexico, where young Head Coach Gearoid Dunbar running growing men’s and women’s programs.
Three games, at the moment anyway, look to be on the slate in men's college rugby this weekend; let's keep the fingers crossed they can play them.
First up is the rematch between Arkansas State and Lindenwood. ASU has to feel like they didn't capitalize on the pressure they built a month ago. So have they been able to improve in training since then? Quite possibly.
In Queens University’s run to a national DII title in the fall of 2019, the Royals lost only once—they get to face that team again now that they return to the field on Saturday.
Note: A positive COVID test on one of the teams has canceled this game.
