GRR: Rugby Washington
In another rain-soaked game, the San Diego Mustangs shut out the Eastside Lions of Washington state 19-0 in the second win of their two-game tour.
The Mustangs got starting scrumhalf James Downey back and his experience and ball handling showed an immediate improvement throughout the backline.
The San Diego Mustangs defeated the Seattle Vikings 26-12 on a cold, rainy Friday night in Seattle in a pre-league runout for both squads.
It's a busy weekend around the country in Boys HS rugby, as some leagues are getting started, and others heading into playoff-decision time; here's a look:
Jeanne Hansen Community Park in Snoqualmie Ridge, Wash. will be the venue for a two-day preseason festival for Rugby Washington HS teams dubbed the Cascade Clash.
Boys teams from DI, DII, JV, and 7th/8th grade will compete in a two-game festival to get the season started.
Seattle Rugby Club youth player Tristan Stead was in the news this week, although not quite for rugby.
