Rugby East Conference News
West Point Rugby is looking for an assistant coach.
The position is described as a Coordinator, Mens Rugby Ops, and Coaching. The position is not open for a visa-carrier, so this job would be an excellent chance for an American rugby coach looking to build their coaching career.
Rugby East has announced its fall conference schedule for 2025.
The conference is currently seven teams: Army West Point, Navy, Mary Washington, Mount St. Mary's, Penn State, Life University, and Southern Virginia. This allows every team to play each other in what is the toughest collegiate conference, top-to-bottom, in the country.
The 12 Rugby East college teams met this week on a call to decide if they should all commit to playing in D1A instead of playing split, with five playing toward an NCR playoff and seven playing toward a CRAA D1A playoff.
The Rugby East Conference has announced its 2024 All-Rugby East teams.
Honorees were selected by coaches and administrators from all 12 Rugby East programs.
The US Naval Academy have eight players named overall in the 1st, 2nd, and Honorable Mention lists. West Point and Life have seven, while Queens and Mount St. Mary's have six.
Queens beating Life 29-26 over the weekend shook up the Rugby East and top-level collegiate rugby in general.
Was this a one-off? Not necessarily. Remember that Life had that close call with Mount St. Mary's in late September, and of course the close win over Navy. Queens has had two close wins, as well, and in fact about a quarter of the Rugby East games end up being within a try.
