GRR: College Men
We first mentioned Garrett Shibilski last year, when the Wisconsin-Whitewater hooker showed some impressive open-field skills in the Men's DII College playoffs.
Well, this year, with the Whitewater pack operating nicely, Shibilski has moved to fullback.
"He is turning into a very dynamic runner and one of our best defenders," said coach Matthew Pederson.
Furman and UNC-Wilmington lead the Southern Rugby Conference after both won games against former DI opposition.
Well the message from the latest Empire Conference results has backed up Goff Rugby Report’s earlier assertion that this conference will be tough to call.
Regulation 9 in World Rugby says that clubs must release players who have been called up to international duty, but that rule only applies to specific times of the year.
William Paterson’s 2-0 start in the Tri-State Conference is notable enough, but even more so when you consider WPU did not win a single conference game last year.
The turnaround isn’t a fluke. WPU defeated NJIT and Molloy, two teams that were 5-1 in the conference last season.
