More than 25 college rugby teams are in action this weekend, with a little bit of an international flair.
Saint Mary's is on a tour that sees them play Cambridge University on Sunday, Oxford University on Wednesday, and Dublin University (aka Trinity) on next Saturday. Cambridge has several teams they field and are listing this fixture as a game for their 1st team.
We've got about 30 boys HS games this weekend with SoCal, Texas, North Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana all in action.
We talk about the opening of the Florida Conference, and that's an almost non-stop run for that group.
Many other conference mix in some non-conference games, but we do have a California Conference game between Cal Poly and Saint Mary's. While the Gaels are favored, this is a continually improving Cal Poly side so let's see how much of an improvement.
Slowly the season are getting started.
This week Texas and Florida kick off. Texas has a new single-school team conference in action, which is mostly, but not all, Catholic schools. We are seeing a small wave of new school teams around the country. SoCal has them, Texas is adding a couple, and North Carolina, too.
Southern California heats up a little more even as the rains come.
