GRR: West Point
Coming off a 39-13 win against Navy in October of 2020, Army might be heavily favored in this weekend against Navy at FedEx Field, but the West Point players are too smart to get caught up in all of that.
It is, after all, Army-Navy.
The Army-Navy rivalry is one of the most intense in collegiate rugby, and fans who go see the USA-New Zealand test match will get to see this first-hand.
For the Navy Midshipmen, this is a special game in part because the venue—FedEx Field in Landover, Md.—is pretty much on their doorstep.
Army and Navy have set up their clash at FedEx Field nicely, with the two teams the only two in the hunt now for the Rugby East title.
Dartmouth celebrated Homecoming Weekend with an upset defeat of West Point 21-10 Saturday in Hanover, NH.
Dartmouth was smart in making sure they got points from pressure, and with captain Mike Weir accurate in his kicking that all wasn't hard to do. Weird slotted two early penalty goals, and then added a drop goal to give the Big Green a 9-0 lead.
