GRR: UNC-Wilmington
Showdown denied could well be showdown accentuated in the Southern Rugby Conference.
The Southern DII Men’s College Conference starts up this weekend in what is a hugely competitive competition.
Greenville, NC welcomes a weird men’s DII bracket because in many eye it’s three conference champions and the favorite - but we’ll see.
It’s not common that you get a young athlete choosing a college in part because of rugby even though he hasn’t played rugby, but that’s kind of how Thomas McCrimmon ended up at UNC-Wilmington.
Usually when Furman plays UNC-Wilmington it’s a game that means a lot; often it means the Southern Conference championship.
This weekend, things are a little different. With Furman already 2-1, and UNC-W 2-0, it might actually be a game about survival.
