GRR: College Men
Is it time to get excited about St. Bonaventure?
Was this past weekend's 32-12 defeat of Notre Dame College enough for us to call SBU a contender in the Rugby East?
Head Coach Tui Osborne isn't quite sure we should go that far, but he's happy.
Kentucky is looking for another conference title and took a big step forward this past weekend with a 40-12 defeat of Alabama.
But UK will get a good challenge in the DIAA SCRC from Tennessee, which defeated DIA Notre Dame 31-12, and who also beat Memphis on the same Saturday. But there’s another challenge lurking.
Here's how Goff Rugby Report is voting in this week's D1A rankings. We have no changes in the Top 10. St. Bonaventure did very well, but so did everyone else. You could argue that Kutztown should drop down due to a loss, but that was a last-second loss against the team ranked one spot above—seems like the right spot, for now.
Rugby Northeast is already looking to be very tight all the way through, as Norwich rebounded from a somewhat surprising loss last week to win, and UMass Lowell puts it hand up.
The Men’s DII league this week saw UMass Lowell hold off Middlebury 22-12 in a game that was probably even closer than the score indicates.
Lindenwood-Belleville added another victory to what is likely the program's final season with a fairly comprehensive 39-7 victory over Arkansas.
